Romford Rock and Boulder

A local, independently run and owned gym that has staff who are always friendly and willing to help. I first found my love for climbing here after a long time of thinking about picking up the hobby, and was the perfect place for it.It is a smaller gym but has plenty of challenging climbs to keep you occupied for the 2 hour time slot. It has plenty of bus/transport routes connecting to the gym. Also highly recommend the coffee!

As somone who doesn't normally do rock climbing and just came with some friends I was a bit worried about not knowing what I'm doing but pepal in the gym and the staff was super nice and friendly and helped me a lot didn't feel out of place even tho I was completely new. Side note they have an incredible mini caff that dose some amzing coffee better then most coffee shops.

Nice bouldering centre. Friendly staff. Good variety. Good facilities. Parking is small but enough. Coffee and seating area to view. Would recommend to friends and family. Variety of different climbing options. Saturday was not too busy. Closes at 6pmSeparate stretch room available. I would recommend

Lovely experience. The owners were very nice and accommodating. Initially I had issues getting in touch after buying a voucher but found out it was because they were away but they were really good about it when they found out and communication was amazing after that. Alex was lovely when we went in and explained everything well. They have a lot of different things going on and would’ve loved to stay longer if we had more time. The actual climbing has lots of different challenges which we really enjoyed. The coffee shop looked good too, will definitely check it out next time.

TL;DRA 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!

First Time Climber This place was excellent recommended by my Son who comes here alot and he also gave me instruction on all the different climbs and different challenges. Well set out and nice chilled out atmosphere will be back soon

First time bouldering, group of 4 lads, we had a great time! Never did I appreciate the difficulty of bouldering, the different routes and holds, the amount of strength needed to do these climbs!From the moment we walked in, we were met with friendly staff/visitors, with lots of helpful advice, just generally such a lovely, welcoming environment! Would love to try the coffee shop next time :)Small place but we spent 2 hours there and could’ve spent another 2 more… defo coming back, enough routes to keep you occupied for ages!

Only started coming here with some mates recently but already attended a handful of times. Really newbie friendly and a supportive environment with a great selection of climbs available. I’m hooked and will definitely keep coming back!
