West Ham
Newham, London
West Ham sits in the centre of Newham around West Ham station and Plaistow, a ward running from the Greenway down to the Northern Outfall. The character is mixed — Victorian terraces, mid-century estates and the new-build Olympic fringe. The three listed buildings include the Grade I Church of All Saints, a twelfth-century parish church that is one of the oldest surviving buildings in east London, plus the Grade II Crockett's war memorial. West Ham Park delivers 26 hectares of green space, twenty-nine outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, and very good public-transport access links the Jubilee, District, Hammersmith & City lines, DLR and National Rail at West Ham station. The weak points: safety sits below the borough median, market conditions are moderate, and air quality reflects the A13 and A12 corridors at the edges.
