Romford Rock & Boulder

“TL;DR A great little gym in Romford with some of the best owners I've ever met, and cute doggos- Toby the sweetest golden retriever, and Knuckles, the softest little cloud of a Coton de Tulear. There's a great variety of climbing, lovely upstairs cafe, beautiful stretching room, lockers with a key provided, changing rooms, toilets, and a water fountain. Definitely check it out! The long version: This up and coming bouldering gym is right by the town of Romford. Right off of Romford bus garage, you can't miss the bright yellow sign that advertises this lovely little gym. For any climber living in the area, this is a game changer! We no longer have to go all the way into Mile End or Bermondsey to get some climbing in! This little bouldering gym has 60+ routes ranging from V0-V8. There's a beautiful stretching room, toilets, changing rooms, lockers, water fountain, and upstairs is a little cafe overlooking the gym! Everything is really nice and clean and they do a good job wiping down after people have used the pull up bars/campus boards. The owners are super sweet and friendly with the cutest dogs! Really great to have climbers who love to climb and run the place. Definitely get to know them when you are there! Pricing is £11 for a single visit. For the one time-off member fee there's only a £3 charge the first time. They also offer monthly, 6 month and a 12 month option as well. Or a 10 punch pass card! As of right now, you need to book a session in order to go climbing for the social distancing guidelines. It's a 2 hour time slot which is plenty! And when the time is slow, you are always welcomed to stay longer. It's a great workout if you are a first-timer. There's shoes for hire and the staff is great at directing you about the place. If you are a veteran like me, you'll be grateful for a place nearby you in Romford!”
