About

Woodford Bridge is a neighbourhood in the London Borough of Redbridge, set along the River Roding. The locality sits east of Woodford town centre and grew up around the crossing that gives the area its name: a small bridge where the road meets the river. Local life is organised around a short high street and a handful of shops, a few pubs and primary schools, serving nearby residential streets. Footpaths by the Roding provide a continuous green corridor used for walking and wildlife spotting.

Housing around Woodford Bridge ranges from early 20th-century terraces and semi-detached houses to later infill, with narrow residential streets linking to larger arterial routes. Pocket parks and riverside paths form part of a local network of open space rather than a single large park. Community facilities and local sports clubs meet weekly, while nearby transport connections put central London within commuter reach. The bridge over the Roding remains a local reference point for addresses and directions.
