East Ham
Newham, London
East Ham sits at the east of Newham around the High Street South and Barking Road junction, a dense residential ward whose daily rhythm is set by East Ham Underground station and the long retail strip. The ten listed buildings include the Grade II* Newham Council Offices — East Ham Town Hall, opened in 1903 to a design by Cheers and Smith and topped by a 150-foot tower — along with the Grade II Public Library and Council Offices. Forty-three Ofsted outstanding rated schools fall within reach, one of the densest education footprints in London. Transport is good, with the District and Hammersmith & City lines at East Ham and Elizabeth line access at Forest Gate and Manor Park. The food and retail offer along High Street South runs to 174 eating places. The downsides are measurable: safety sits in the bottom third of London wards pulled by the main strip, air quality is poor along the A13 corridor, and green space within the ward runs to around ten hectares.
