About

Gidea Park sits in the London Borough of Havering, northeast of Romford town centre. The area developed from farmland in the early 20th century and retains a planned garden suburb layout around tree-lined streets and short terraces. Gidea Park railway station offers regular services into central London and local shops and services cluster along Main Road. A mix of family housing, schools and community facilities gives the area a suburban character, while footpaths and small green spaces break the street pattern.
The estate is known for the houses from the 1911 and 1934 exhibitions, many designed by leading architects of the period and now protected as listed buildings; examples stand around the original exhibition roads and remain private homes. Raphael Park, adjoining the suburb, contains a lake and paths used for walking and events, and the park forms a focal point for local recreation. Community halls and sports pitches serve clubs and school teams, and regular commuter services at the station make Gidea Park a residential base for people working across London.
