About

Fairlop is situated in the northeastern part of the London Borough of Redbridge. The area is primarily residential, characterised by semi-detached and terraced housing built largely in the interwar period. It is bordered by open spaces including Fairlop Waters to the north and Hainault Forest Country Park to the east, providing a distinct contrast to the built environment. The local centre focuses on the Fairlop Oak public house and a small parade of shops along Forest Road, serving the immediate community.

The area's identity is strongly linked to its green belt surroundings. The historic Fairlop Plain, once known for its massive oak tree that gave its name to the area, is now the site of a large country park and lake. Transport links are provided by the Central line tube station at Fairlop, connecting residents to central London. The presence of the Fairlop and Barkingside Recreation Ground offers further local leisure space, contributing to the area's quieter, suburban character.
