Romford station is located in Romford, London Borough of Havering, East London. It is situated between Chadwell Heath and Gidea Park. It is the western terminus of the Upminster branch line from Upminster, with Emerson Park the next station along.

The current station is made up of two once-separate stations on opposite sides of South Street. The oldest part of the station (current platforms 2–5) was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1839. The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway station (current platform 1) was opened in 1892 and originally had two platforms. The two stations are now joined by a footbridge and the LTSR entrance converted for use as a bar.

Romford station is the alighting point for Havering College of Further and Higher Education in Ardleigh Green, which is deemed as East London's best college.
