Loxford
Redbridge, London
PocketsIlford South West (Ilford Lane · River Roding · south-east · Aldersbrook · Uphall Recreation Ground)Loxford Park (north-east · Ilford Lane · Barking Park · south-west)
Loxford sits on the southern edge of Ilford in Redbridge, a ward of dense terraced streets along the Ilford Hill corridor. The listed-building set of three entries includes the Grade II NatWest Bank, the former Domestic Science Building in the grounds of Uphall Primary School, and the Grade II Chaplain's House at the Ilford Hospital of St Mary and St Thomas of Canterbury — a rare medieval survival on Ilford High Road. Public-transport access is good, anchored by Ilford on the Elizabeth line. Twenty-two outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, the culture score of 25 reflects the South Asian-led high-street offer, and the food venue count of 108 is strong. The drawbacks are substantial. Safety scores are weak at 33 reflecting town-centre theft and assault, pollution scores are weak at 38, the planning-disruption score of 15 picks up live Ilford town-centre redevelopment, and green space is thin at 10.7 hectares with Loxford Park the largest site.

Loxford, quick answers
- Is Loxford safe?
- Loxford scores 32 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — recording more crime than most London wards. The score weighs personal safety, property crime and anti-social behaviour separately rather than ranking on one raw total, so the mix of crime matters as well as the volume.
- Is Loxford a good place to live?
- Loxford scores 39 overall when all nine data layers are weighted equally. The London comparison beside the score shows how that number ranks against every ward. Its strongest suits are property prices & growth (66) and nature access (65); its weakest is heritage (6). Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.
- How well connected is Loxford?
- Moderate public-transport access: Transport for London rates the typical spot in Loxford 3 on its 0–8 public-transport access scale, which puts the ward at 46 for connectivity relative to the rest of London.
- Is Loxford expensive to buy in?
- Relative to the rest of London, Loxford is among London's more affordable areas to buy: its purchase-affordability score is 17/20, where higher means cheaper per square foot (HM Land Registry sold prices matched to floor areas).
- What are the schools like near Loxford?
- Loxford scores 56 for education, based on Ofsted ratings and walking distance to the nearest rated primary and secondary schools. 4 schools within a kilometre hold an Outstanding rating.
