About

Markhouse & St James Park is an electoral ward in the London Borough of Waltham Forest centred on the streets around Markhouse Road and St James Street. The area mixes Victorian terraces, interwar housing and pockets of municipal development, with a local high street on St James Street where independent shops, small grocers and cafes serve residents. Community facilities include primary schools, a community centre and places of worship that sit close to everyday services and bus routes that link the ward to the rest of the borough and to central London.

St James Park itself is a green space with paths, a playground and sports pitches used by local teams and schools. Parts of the neighbourhood fall within the Markhouse Conservation Area, which preserves late 19th-century street layouts and terraced fronts, and resident groups run seasonal events in the park and on the high street. Rail access is available from St James Street station, and the ward's streets show a continuity of domestic scale and local activity rather than large commercial development.
