About

Ilford Town ward forms the commercial heart of the London Borough of Redbridge. The area is centred on Ilford Lane and the High Road, a dense concentration of retail outlets, restaurants, and local services. It is a major transport hub, served by the Ilford railway station and numerous bus routes connecting to wider London and Essex. Residential streets, primarily consisting of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, radiate from this busy core.

The ward includes the large Ilford Hill area and is bordered by the River Roding to the west.

Valentines Park, with its mansion and gardens, lies just outside the ward's southern boundary, providing green space for residents. The area has a very high population density, reflecting its urban character.
