Redbridge's Environment
Known as the "leafy" suburb, the borough enjoys one of the best
living environments in London. About a third of it lies within
designated green belt land and there are 13 conservation areas.
We have 1,200 acres of forest and 600 acres of green spaces and
parks. We are also well placed for touring the south-east of
England, in particular the picturesque villages of Essex.
Transportation
We have excellent rail, underground and road links to the
centre of London, which is just seven miles away, and Docklands,
and are also within easy reach of both London City Airport and
Stansted Airport.
The Dartford Crossing to the south allows easy road access to
Kent and the Channel ports. We are very close to Stratford,
the 2012 Olympics site, where a new international station will
provide a direct rail link to the Channel Tunnel.
Ilford Town Centre
Ilford is well positioned to become a major centre of
the Thames Gateway, with new retail outlets and improvements
to the Exchange Mall Shopping Centre.
