About

Forest Gate North is a ward in the London Borough of Newham that covers the northern part of Forest Gate. The area is mainly residential, with rows of Victorian terraces alongside mid-20th-century council housing. Local shopping streets run along Romford Road and Woodgrange Road, and small playgrounds and community centres are dotted between housing blocks. Forest Gate station on the Elizabeth Line gives direct rail services into central London, and the Great Eastern Main Line marks a clear transport corridor through the ward.

The Woodgrange Estate conservation area sits within the ward and reflects a planned estate layout with consistent plot sizes and boundary walls along quieter streets. Places of worship, primary and secondary schools, and volunteer-run groups meet in church halls and community buildings, supporting everyday local activities. Independent shops, takeaways and a small number of light-industrial premises line some routes, while development pressures have produced a steady flow of small infill projects and conversions of older buildings.
