Some "top secret" filming for a programme has taken place across Romford, notably at St Edward's Church which has been lit up by lighting props.

Multiple reports of filming have been registered across last week in the town, including in High Street and at the Market Place church.

Jo Sheppard, a member of the church, told the Recorder: "It was top secret and we don’t know the programme, just the company it was for. It is for a programme next year."

She also said that filming was being done at the Liberty, although she was "not sure if they are linked."

"We are not allowed to say anything about the contract at all.

"We are not allowed to say anything apart from confirm that there was filming going on."

When asked by this paper, The Liberty could only confirm that filming had occurred for its own Christmas marketing, with no link to any external projects.
