Welcome to Fairlop

Fairlop is a suburban area located in the London Borough of Redbridge. It is situated in the northeastern part of Greater London and is known for its beautiful parks and green spaces. The area is named after Fairlop Waters, a large lake that was created in the 18th century by damming the River Roding. Today, Fairlop Waters Country Park is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a range of activities such as fishing, sailing, and golfing. The park also features a nature reserve, picnic areas, and a playground, making it a great place for families to spend a day out.

In addition to its natural beauty, Fairlop is also home to a number of historic landmarks. One of the most notable is Fairlop Oak, a 900-year-old tree that is said to have been a meeting place for King Henry VIII and his courtiers. The tree is now protected by a fence and is a popular spot for visitors to take photos. Another historic site in Fairlop is the Grade II listed Fairlop Station, which was built in 1903 and is one of the few remaining examples of Edwardian railway architecture in London.

Despite its suburban location, Fairlop is well-connected to the rest of London. The area is served by Fairlop tube station, which is on the Central line and provides easy access to central London. There are also several bus routes that run through the area, making it easy to get around without a car. With its combination of natural beauty, historic landmarks, and convenient transport links, Fairlop is a great place to live or visit in Greater London.
