Naming the Overground: The Liberty line

Tim's journey across the new London Overground map continues with a dive into the weird and wonderful history of Havering and Romford on a truly unique part of the Overground: the three stops of the Liberty line. Why was that name chosen? What made Havering so special hundreds of years ago? What is a royal liberty? And are some of these places really haunted? Find out as we hear from some passionate and fascinating local history experts at the Havering Museum, and on a walking tour through Romford town centre.
