The first images have been released showing what the new gastropub replacing a former Wetherspoons in Romford could look like.

In April 2023 The World's Inn pub in South Street, Romford, closed as part of Wetherspoons' decision to sell and let dozens of its pubs across the UK.

More than a year later, current site leaseholder Remzi Erdogan announced plans to open gastropub Ivy Tree on July 10 with much change.
