Perfectly situated on the West Essex / East London border, South Woodford is within easy commuting distance of Canary Wharf, The City of London and West End. A short drive to the North is the M25, giving excellent transport links to the rest of the country. Moreover, with the central line underground station and its many bus routes, travel by any means never seems to be an issue.
South Woodford's retail and business area is centered on George Lane — the main high street for the district — and Woodford Green High Road. There are a number of well-known chain store shops, and a good selection of smaller shops, restaurants, and cafes.
This area was also, until 2004, home to the student residences of Queen Mary, University of London, but the distinctive tower blocks were demolished in 2007 and replaced with lower-rise privately-owned apartments, known as Queen Mary's Gate. There is also the Redbridge Drama Centre, situated next to Churchfields primary school.
For your convenience we have listed a selection of local businesses and amenities which may be useful for those moving into the area.
