About

Fairlop ward lies in the northern part of the London Borough of Redbridge. The area is largely residential, characterised by suburban housing estates and quieter streets. It is bordered by open spaces including Fairlop Waters and Hainault Forest Country Park to the north, which provide significant green infrastructure. The ward contains several schools and local shopping parades catering to daily needs, with the wider amenities of Barkingside and Ilford accessible nearby.

The area is defined by the presence of Fairlop Plain, a large area of open grassland and the historic site of the Fairlop Fair. This former gathering, which drew large crowds in the 18th and 19th centuries, connects the ward to its pastoral past before suburban development. The Central line serves the ward at Fairlop and Hainault stations, offering direct transport links into central London. The overall character is one of a settled, green suburb.
