Woodford is a suburban district in the London Borough of Redbridge, north-east London on the boundary with the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Woodford may be divided into three areas: South Woodford, Woodford Green and Woodford Bridge, which gets its name from the Saxon ford over the River Roding. There are also areas known as Woodford Wells (north of Woodford Green), Woodford Side (towards Chingford) and formerly Woodford Church End (near St. Mary's).
