Gants Hill is a thriving district centre in the London Borough of Redbridge, in the north-east of London, located approximately 21 km (13 miles) north-east of London's West End.

Well connected

Gants Hill is a well-connected district centre situated at a busy roundabout junction with the A12, connecting to the M11 and onwards to the M25 motorways.
The commercial hub of the town benefits from excellent public transport, with a large number of bus routes and a London Underground Central Line station beneath the roundabout, providing fast connection to central London.
The town has recently benefited from a multi million pound pedestrian streetscape enhancement scheme, a joint venture with Transport for London, the Council and delivery organisations.

Retail offer

The town centre has a balanced mix of retail (including Sainsburys and Tesco's), but it is its leisure activity that the town centre is increasingly being noted for, with a popular night club and a number of top quality restaurants and bars in the town.
Visit the Council's district shopping web site for details of businesses located in Gants Hill.

Leisure offer

Valentines Park is located just south of the district centre, providing Gants Hill with a major recreational green open space and sporting facilities.

Education & earnings

The population is statistically more qualified than the Redbridge average.
To the south west of the district centre a new primary school and associated playing fields and sporting pitches have been established.
Gant Hill residents earn a little over the Redbridge average household earnings.

Inward investment

The Gants Hill District Centre Area Action Plan (adopted May 2009) sets out the towns future spatial strategy, ensuring that new development will be delivered of high quality design and will contribute to the character of the District Centre.
The Planning service undertakes a health check of its commercial centres, measuring a number of key economic indicators that helps us to identify areas of concern that may require intervention.

Gants Hill District Centre Enhancement Scheme

The Council and Transport for London successfully delivered a £7.2m streetscape scheme in October 2010, transforming the pedestrian accessibility and appearance of the centre.
The regeneration project included upgraded CCTV, widening of lanes, improved lighting, signage, landscaping and attractive outdoor areas for restaurants and bars.
A commemorative plaque was unveiled by the Mayor of London to mark the end of the project.
