Welcome to Woodford

Woodford is a suburban town located in the northeast of Greater London. It is situated in the London Borough of Redbridge and is known for its leafy streets, green spaces, and excellent transport links. The town has a rich history, dating back to the 17th century when it was a popular destination for wealthy Londoners looking to escape the city. Today, Woodford is a thriving community with a diverse population and a range of amenities.

One of the most notable features of Woodford is its abundance of green spaces. The town is home to several parks and nature reserves, including Epping Forest, which covers over 6,000 acres and is one of the largest areas of ancient woodland in the country. Other popular green spaces in Woodford include Roding Valley Park, which offers a range of outdoor activities such as fishing, cycling, and walking, and Claybury Woods, which is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its rare flora and fauna.

Woodford is also well-connected to the rest of London, making it an ideal location for commuters. The town has its own tube station, which is served by the Central Line and provides easy access to central London in under 30 minutes. Additionally, there are several bus routes that run through Woodford, connecting it to nearby towns and villages. With its excellent transport links, green spaces, and community spirit, Woodford is a popular destination for those looking to live in a peaceful suburban setting while still being close to the hustle and bustle of the city.
