Redbridge is a well-connected suburban location in north Ilford, situated at the junction of the Eastern Avenue and the North Circular Road.

Redbridge is a district of Ilford, located within the larger London Borough of Redbridge, with which it should not be confused.

There have been at least four bridges across the River Roding here. The earliest, known as Hockley’s Bridge after a medieval landowner, was standing in the 16th century. A red-brick bridge was built in 1642 and survived for two centuries, after which an iron bridge was erected in its place.

Red-brick terraced houses, now mostly pebble-dashed, were built here at the beginning of the 20th century using materials from the Ilford brickfields. Another spate of housebuilding followed the arrival of the Eastern Avenue in the mid-1920s, when the iron bridge was replaced by the present crossing.

Redbridge is a great place to raise your family, you have got excellent schools, green spaces and parks, great rail networks and easy access to the A406 and A12.  It is very family orientated and it is the people who make Redbridge such a satisfactory place to live, There is a lot going on. The people who live here have a good approach to life and encourage their families to move close by, which fosters a real sense of community. Whilst Redbridge doesn’t feel like London it is still easy to get to the city centre.
