Manor Park
WELCOME TO MANOR PARK
Manor Park is a network of Victorian terraces situated between Forest Gate and Ilford, in the London Borough of Newham.
Most of this area was part of the manor of Little Ilford until it gained a separate identity following the opening of its station. The new suburb took its name from the manor house built around 1810 for the lord of the manor of West Ham on his Ham frith estate.

Wanstead Flats are also close to hand and for shopping; Romford Road is the place to go offering numerous amounts of independent shops including restaurants, fashion, jewellery and just about any service you could think of. Romford Road itself is a major artery across Newham and eastwards onto Romford.
