Plaistow North
Newham, London
Plaistow North sits in the middle of Newham, a dense Victorian ward of terraces between the Romford Road and the A13, with Plaistow station and Upton Park close to the boundary. The character is east-London working-class residential, sitting close to the streets that carried West Ham's old Boleyn Ground footprint, even though the stadium itself has moved. Connectivity is very good — Plaistow on the District and Hammersmith & City lines — and seventy-six Ofsted-outstanding schools are within reach, one of the highest figures in the batch. Four Grade II listings (Essex Lodge, Willow Cottage, the Passmore Edwards Library) survive. Non-food amenity reads very high at two hundred and thirty-seven, reflecting local retail density. The drawbacks are stacked. Crime sits well below the London middle, planning scores are very low, green space is thin at under seven hectares with Plaistow Park the small anchor, and there is no conservation area coverage inside the ward. Air quality sits close to the London average.
