Favourite Building
- South Park School
- exchange shopping centre, great way to shop without getting wet
also new jd sports shop is rather intriguing, as the shopping bit is all underground.
- the cauliflower pubseven kings health centre
- Gants Hill Library
- valentines mansion and the exchange are nice.
- The WILLIAM TORBITT SCHOOL building at Aldborough Road / Eastern Avenue
- Gantshill Sauna (Next to Gants Hill subway)
- The lido in Valentines Park. A lovely piece of Edwardian architecture bulldozed by the scumbag council in the nineties without telling anyone. Their argument was that not enough people used it. That's because hardly anyone new it was there. And now it's too late.
- I don't know about favourite, but a great place to see is the 13th-century chapel on Ilford Hill. This former leper colony is like an oasis in the middle of Ilford. When you step inside, traffic noise diappears and you are transported back in time.
- the exchange: Shops, yey!!!
- The buttsbury estate but theve done that already
- Definitely the tube stations at Redbridge and Gants Hill. gants Hill has the biggest unsupported concrete arch ceiling of its time.
- The library, disspelling the myth that everyone who lives in the London/Essex area is ignorant!
- SS Peter & Paul Roman Catholic Church, High Road Redbridge Tube station - final Charles Holden building in London, (post-war) modernist yet restrained, simple and round like a tiny flying saucer next to the motorway and North Circular road!
- Fulwell Cross Library, with its huge dome is a landmark
- Ilford townhall had the best steps to run up. 1948 was the year.
- The house in Valentines park rocks
- What used to be the old lepers hospital on Ilford Hill not sure of exact era but hundreds of years old
