St. Edward's is a ward in the London Borough of Havering, on the edge of Greater London in England and historically part of Essex. It sits close to Romford town centre and mixes Victorian and interwar terraces with post‑war suburban housing, small retail parades and light industrial units, making it a mainly residential area with local commerce and commuter links into central London.
The ward reflects Romford's market‑town past and parish identities - its name echoes that local history - and supports community facilities, parks and independent shops. Like many outer‑London suburbs it faces high‑street pressures and pockets of regeneration, while a diverse population, active voluntary groups and a local economy of small businesses and services give it a strong neighbourhood character.
