Questions people ask

Is Redbridge safe?

Police recorded about 75.5 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, lower than London as a whole (98.1). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.

How much do homes cost in Redbridge?

Homes sold for a typical £5,260 per m² in the year to August 2026, lower than London as a whole (£6,380 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £370,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.

How many schools are there in Redbridge?

There are 53 state primary and 18 state secondary schools inside Redbridge's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.

Is Redbridge a deprived area?

9% of Redbridge's 164 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 15% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
