The Spark Ilford

A new Cultural Quarter is coming to Ilford town centre which will combine civic, leisure, education and community uses. The area surrounding Redbridge Town Hall and Oakfield Road will be the heart of this change, boosting cultural activity both day and night. Funding has been secured through the Mayor of London's Good Growth Fund.

“The Spark Ilford” has been developed to kick-start the regeneration of the Cultural Quarter bringing meanwhile projects that will transform three Council assets, initially for a five-year period whilst longer term plans are developed. Mercato Metropolitano, and SPACE studios as part of the Spark Ilford project, are transforming the Town Hall car park and the Town Hall building. 

It will be an exciting time for Ilford Town Centre, the Spark will bring intriguing events and illuminate the community spirit of Ilford, bringing people together through art, enterprise, events and food.
