In this video, we take a walk through Ilford in East London, showing how the area looks and feels in 2025.
Once part of Essex, Ilford has grown into a busy, diverse town that reflects the mix and energy of modern London. Over the years, it’s become known for its South Asian and multicultural communities, its food, markets, and the busy high streets that give it so much character.
Ilford has changed a lot in recent decades — with new developments, transport links like the Elizabeth Line, and regeneration projects reshaping the area. But it still holds on to its familiar urban edge and community feel.
Like many parts of East London, Ilford has its challenges, with concerns around crime, housing, and social inequality, yet it remains full of life, resilience, and identity.
This walk captures a snapshot of everyday Ilford — its streets, people, and atmosphere — as it continues to evolve in 2025.
