Ilford

Ilford is in East London. It is located 9.1 miles east of Charing Cross, and is identified as a major metropolitan centre in the London Plan. Although Ilford is in the London Borough of Redbridge, a part is also in the London Borough of Newham.

Ilford forms a significant commercial and retail centre surrounded by extensive residential development. It was historically a small rural settlement in the county of Essex and its strategic position on the River Roding and the London to Colchester road caused it to develop as a coaching town. The arrival of the railway in 1839 eventually accelerated that growth and as part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Ilford significantly expanded and increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1926, Since 1965 it has formed part of Greater London.
