Ilford is Redbridge's main town centre, with high-rise flats and offices around the High Road and dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces running out towards Seven Kings and Goodmayes. On-street space is tight, and a skip placed in a parking bay needs a paid bay suspension as well as a Redbridge skip licence.
Central Ilford was laid out from the 1890s as long parallel streets of continuous two-storey terraces on narrow frontages, on estates such as the Grange and Cranbrook north of the station and Loxford east of Ilford Lane. Goodmayes and Seven Kings are similar districts of Edwardian terraces. Between the wars building spread north through Gants Hill and Newbury Park to Barkingside, with more variety in house size and layout. Terraces seldom have side access and parking is on the street, where Redbridge operates permit parking zones. Recent blocks on Ilford Hill add upper floors and lifts.
Parking in Ilford is mostly permit bays and yellow lines, so the truck stops for loading only and the crew works fast; tell us where the nearest legal stop is when you book. Dismantling a sofa or bed that won't come out in one piece is £30 an item.
