Wanstead Park

About

Wanstead Park ward lies in the northeastern part of the London Borough of Redbridge, centred around the historic Wanstead Park itself. The area is primarily residential, characterised by streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, alongside some interwar and more modern developments. Its boundaries are largely shaped by the North Circular Road to the north and the sprawling greenery of Wanstead Flats to the west.

The ward's defining feature is the ornamental lake and grotto within Wanstead Park, remnants of the grand 18th-century Wanstead House estate. Local life focuses on the High Street, which offers independent shops and cafes, and the area is served by Wanstead Park railway station. The presence of the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium adds a significant expanse of managed green space within the ward's southern section.
