Romford Market House
Proposal for a new civic and commercial Market House in the heart of Romford town centre.
More info
The Market House is a new civic and commercial building in the heart of Romford town centre, and part of a series of projects to regenerate the historic Romford Market designed by DK-CM working in collaboration with Project Centre, Urban Space Management and Eleanor Gill.

Market.
