Welcome to Gidea Park

Gidea Park is a suburban area located in the London Borough of Havering, in the northeastern part of Greater London. The area is known for its beautiful green spaces, including Raphael Park and Lodge Farm Park, which offer residents and visitors a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Gidea Park is also home to a number of excellent schools, making it a popular choice for families looking to settle down in a safe and welcoming community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Gidea Park is the Grade II listed Gidea Park Station, which was built in 1910 and is still in use today. The station is located on the Great Eastern Main Line, providing easy access to central London and other parts of the city. Gidea Park is also well-connected by road, with the A12 and A127 running through the area, making it easy to travel to other parts of Greater London and beyond.

Gidea Park has a rich history, dating back to the 19th century when it was a rural area known for its farms and orchards. Today, the area has a thriving community, with a range of shops, restaurants, and amenities to cater to the needs of residents and visitors alike. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to raise a family or a convenient base from which to explore London, Gidea Park has something to offer everyone.

Epping Forest Theydon Loop
Travelling West From Theydon Bois, Go Past All The Homes And Park In The First Car Park On The Right. Car Park Is Close To The Fast Road, So Be Careful If Your Pup Is Over Excited. Go Through The Gate, Turn Right And Then Take The Left Path. If You Take A Left At Every Path/Junction It’S A Lovely Walk Through The Forest. Over Babbling Brooks And Streams And Logs And Trees For Your Pups To Jump On. Quiet First Thing In The Morning, Can Get Busier At Weekends. But Lots Of Room For The Dogs To Be Off Lead, Away From The Road. Can Get Muddy And Lots Of Squirrels. Only One Poo Bin At The Start/End By The Car Park. Lovely Route.
