South Street, in the town centre, opens at 07:30 Monday to Saturday and 08:00 on a Sunday — as early as any Betfred we cover. Chadwell Heath keeps exactly the same hours all seven days, 08:00 to 22:00, and Collier Row differs only in its 09:00 Sunday start.

Betfred, South Street (town centre)97 South Street, Romford RM1 1NX
South Street runs 07:30 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 08:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. It is in one of the busiest betting stretches in east London: a Paddy Power a few doors along at 91 South Street and a Ladbrokes opposite at 78b both open at 07:30 too, with a Coral at 80 South Street and another Ladbrokes at 149. Distances are straight-line estimates from the Market Place. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.

The full weekly pattern for all three branches in one table, town-centre shops first. Today’s column is highlighted.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Romford
Full weekly times are published for all three branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
South Street opens at 07:30 Monday to Saturday; Collier Row and Chadwell Heath at 08:00. On a Sunday, South Street and Chadwell Heath open at 08:00 and Collier Row at 09:00. An 07:30 start is rare for a Betfred — only a handful of shops on this site open that early.
Open latest
All three close at 22:00 on every day of the week. There is no early-closing branch in Romford and no shorter Sunday evening, which puts it alongside Luton and Hounslow among the latest-trading estates on this site.
The steadiest shop in Romford: 36 High Road in Chadwell Heath is open 08:00 to 22:00 on all seven days — fourteen hours, no variation at all.
Betfred Romford Sunday opening times
Sunday in Romford is as long as any other day: all three shops are open until 22:00.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Street (town centre)97 South Street, RM1 1NX | 08:00 | 22:00 | |
| Collier Row (Collier Row Road)52 Collier Row Road, RM5 3PA | 09:00 | 22:00 | |
| Chadwell Heath (High Road)36 High Road, RM6 6PR | 08:00 | 22:00 |
South Street and Chadwell Heath run 08:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday and Collier Row 09:00 to 22:00. That covers the morning racing, the afternoon football and the evening kick-offs at every shop.
Betfred Romford bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England can trade on every bank holiday bar one. Premises licences issued under the Gambling Act 2005 carry a condition that gambling facilities cannot be provided on Christmas Day, so all three Romford branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Romford branches usually run either their normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide 20:00 close on bank holiday Mondays, which would take two hours off all three Romford branches, so check the window card the week before.
Easter opening times
Betting shops have been allowed to open on Good Friday since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no Easter Sunday restriction in Great Britain. Across the Easter weekend, expect each Romford branch to follow its usual pattern for that day.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal weekday times |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal Saturday times |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | Normal Sunday times |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
May and August bank holidays
The early May, spring and summer bank holidays all fall on a Monday. Check the window card or the Betfred shop finder the week before; a 20:00 bank holiday close would take two hours off every Romford branch.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
Christmas and New Year opening times
The festive fortnight is the only stretch of the year when Romford times move far from the weekly pattern. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve normally finish early, Boxing Day — the biggest racing day of the winter — runs close to normal, and New Year’s Day starts later.
| Day | Date | Next date | Usual pattern in Romford |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, every shop |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | Normal opening, close around 20:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | Normal times for that day |
| New Year’s Eve | 31 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| New Year’s Day | 1 January | — | Later start around 10:00, close around 20:00 |
Each Romford branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The live countdowns on this page follow the standard weekly times and the Christmas Day closure only, so check the window card before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December or 1 January.
How the live opening times work
Everything live on this page reads the clock in Romford (UK time), not the clock on your device, and compares it against each shop’s published times. That keeps the status right even if you are checking from abroad.
The panel at the top
The top panel covers the town-centre branch on South Street. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. Collier Row and Chadwell Heath have their own live rows in the section below.
The shop rows
Open now means the shop is inside its published times and the countdown shows how long is left. Closed shows when it opens next. Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before closing so staff can settle slips, so if you are collecting winnings, aim to arrive ten minutes before the time shown.
Map, directions and Street View
Each row has three buttons. Map drops a pin on the shop, Directions plans a route from wherever you are, and Street View shows the street around the shop so you can spot the frontage before you set off. Tap “Use my current location” and the lists re-order themselves so the closest shop is always at the top, and the directions button points to the nearest of all three Romford branches.
Betfred across the rest of Romford
Two more branches sit outside the town centre: Collier Row, about a mile and three-quarters north-west, and Chadwell Heath, about two and a quarter miles west. Both publish full weekly times.
Betfred in Collier Row and Chadwell Heath 2 shops
-
Betfred, Collier Row (Collier Row Road)52 Collier Row Road, Collier Row, Romford RM5 3PA
-
Betfred, Chadwell Heath (High Road)36 High Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford RM6 6PR
Collier Row Road is Collier Row’s main shopping street, with two Corals and a William Hill within a few minutes’ walk. Chadwell Heath’s High Road shop is near the Elizabeth line station, with a Ladbrokes on Tudor Parade and a Paddy Power on Station Road close by. Chadwell Heath carries a Romford postal address but lies in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, which licenses the shop.
Betfred near Romford
Romford is the main town of the London Borough of Havering, and its RM postcodes spread well beyond the town itself.
Directory sites list nine “Romford” Betfreds, but six are in neighbouring towns that share RM postcodes: two in Hornchurch (36 The Broadway and 115 High Street), and one each in Rainham, Dagenham, Grays and Tilbury. Ilford, about five miles west, is covered on its own page. The licensing register also lists a Romford Betfred at 22 Collier Row Lane (RM5 3NX), which does not appear in current listings; a Coral now trades at 26–28 Collier Row Road under the same postcode.
South Street and Collier Row are licensed by the London Borough of Havering, and Chadwell Heath by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. If you are heading for Hornchurch, Upminster or Gidea Park rather than Romford itself, use the location button above to find the nearest of the three.
Other bookmakers in Romford

South Street is the stretch to know: the Betfred, a Paddy Power, two Ladbrokes and a Coral within a couple of minutes’ walk, several of them open from 07:30. Every bookmaker in the borough is closed on Christmas Day by law.
