Romford is a constituency[n 1] in Greater London represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2001 by Andrew Rosindell, a Conservative.[n 2]
It was created in 1885 and was subject to significant changes in boundaries in 1918 and 1945. It initially covered a huge swathe of what is now East London, with parts of the constituency progressively removed as they experienced significant increases in population as London expanded. The constituency has more or less coincided with the town of Romford since 1955.
