1 / 3Lodge Farm Park Miniature Railway
📍 Romford, Greater London
Havering Miniature Railway Club operates rides through Lodge Farm Park on first and third Sundays, April to October. Locomotives include steam engines, electric trains, and a restored red tram. Toddler-friendly with free park parking at Carlton Road.
A great place to visit with children/grandchildren. A train ride is only £2pp, very reasonable for a train ride through the park. Plenty of trains running, so a short wait time. Everyone we met was friendly, helpful and polite. Park at the Carlton Road car park, quite a lot of parking spaces, handy for the train and park and free parking. Recommended
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with train-mad toddlers and primary-age children who respond to real enthusiasm from volunteer operators. The variety of locomotives keeps repeat visits fresh. Arrive at opening to avoid queues on busy open days — the Santa specials sell out fast.

“We’ve been enjoying trips on the miniature railway for over 5 years. Club members are fantastic - friendly and kind and genuinely love to see the kids (and parents) having fun. Christmas special service is really special but the club makes it fun all year round! Thank you for being a wonderful addition to our local park.”

Overview
Lodge Farm Park Miniature Railway is run entirely by volunteers from Havering Miniature Railway Club. Multiple privately-owned locomotives run in rotation — steam, electric, and a classic red tram. Special events include family fun days and Santa specials in December. A tabletop railway lets visitors run their own G-scale models. Parking at Carlton Road car park is free and a short walk away.
