The club was founded in 1987 under the name Romford Raiders and coached by Gord Jeffrey, who went on to become a hero amongst the Romford fans. Some of the best-known players to play for the Raiders include Rob Stewart, Dave Whistle and Mike Ellis, all of whom went on to play and coach at the highest levels in the UK. The Raiders' first-ever match was played on Sunday 13 September 1987, against the
Oxford City Stars. Romford's first captain, Erskine Douglas, also scored the Raiders' first-ever goal. On 28 November 2010, during an English National League game against the
Bracknell Hornets, Danny Marshall scored his 1,232nd point as a Raider when he assisted on a short-handed goal by Frankie Harvey. With that point, Marshall became the club's all-time leading scorer, surpassing Gord Jeffrey's long-standing record. In 2013, the
Romford Ice Arena was sold by Havering Council to investors. The team subsequently had to move to
Lee Valley Ice Centre and became the London Raiders. On February 3, 2018, the Raiders played their first game at their new home back in Romford, the Sapphire Ice and Leisure Centre. Raiders would come back to win 5–2 against the Cardiff Fire in front of a sell-out crowd. Former Romford Junior Olegs Lascenko scored the team's first-ever goal at the new venue, however, it was Cardiff's Jackson Price who scored the first goal overall. In 2024, the team came under new ownership and returned to using the name Romford Raiders. ==Season Records==
