Area Comments
Confusingly named like many London boroughs, West Ham is one of the most easterly areas of true London. It's extremely close to Stratford - possibly its closest neighbour - which is great news for homeowners and residents as this part of the city is going seriously up in the world.
West Ham, known mainly for its football team (themselves named the Hammers after their association with the old Thames Ironworks FC), is perfectly placed for the upcoming Olympics, as investment in Stratford leaps forward and brings huge resources, vastly improved transport and the solid expectation of gentrification.
The West Ham area is already being gentrified of course owing to the value of its property and the proximity to the City and Docklands. And whilst the nearby resources of Stratford - with its arts, culture, tertiary education and shopping - are a fabulous resource for locals, the little town has its own bustling centre, and has good local shops and a sprinkling of solid local pubs and eateries.
Houses here are generally in an excellent state and décor and maintenance are hugely improved from a few years ago. This, along with Plaistow, is a region of two and three bedroom houses, mostly terraces and mostly Victorian. These are very popular, particularly those north of West Ham Park, the attractive little open space that sits dead centre of the area. There are excellent little estates, however, of new build houses, developed to take advantage of the growing interest in the area from first time buyers and cash-conscious city workers.
With the resources of Stratford at its elbow and friendly little community, West Ham is set to be one of the next generation of up and comers.
