A little history

Redbridge in London. London has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. It grew rapidly in the 19th century, becoming the world's largest city at the time. The London Borough of Redbridge, established in 1965, lies in East London. It includes the large town of Ilford and suburban areas such as Hainault.

Notable neighbourhoods in Redbridge include:

Newbury Park and Gants Hill. Newbury Park's main road, Eastern Avenue (A12), was a country lane called Hatch Lane until the 1920s. Its main landmark is the tube station, whose post-war bus shelter, designed by architect Oliver Hill in 1937, received a Festival of Britain award in 1951. Gants Hill lends its name to a central roundabout where five roads meet.

Hainault and Redbridge. Most of the housing in Hainault was built by the London County Council between 1947 and 1953. In 1965 the estate was combined in a single London borough. Redbridge is an area in East London that gives its name to the London Borough of Redbridge, although the two should not be confused.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

No place is left out: every neighbourhood in this race has residents to count.

Alderwood Terrace (11.2 per 1,000 from 12 crimes among 1,075 residents) is a place with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so it is not named as the lowest or highest.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighbourhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighbourhood.
