About

Boleyn ward sits in the western part of the London Borough of Newham, centred on the Green Street and Upton Park corridors. Residential streets are a mix of Victorian terraces and post-war housing, with local shops, markets and places of worship lining Green Street. The ward includes Upton Park Underground station on the District line and the Barking Road, which carry several bus routes and link the area into the wider transport network. The site of the former Boleyn Ground, home to West Ham United until 2016, lies within the ward and has been redeveloped for housing and public space, a clear marker of the area’s recent change.

Community facilities include primary schools, small parks and community centres that serve long-standing local organisations and newer groups formed around retail and cultural activity on Green Street. Local economic activity is concentrated on retail, personal services and small manufacturing units close to main roads. Street-level trading and weekend markets remain important for daily life, and football history shapes local identity through memorials and patterns of use on match days.
