Woodford Green
Woodford Green is part of the North London suburb of Woodford, on the edge of Epping Forest, mostly within the London Borough of Redbridge with a part on the western side of the green within the London Borough of Waltham Forest (this area is known as ''Woodford Side'') and a couple of streets on the eastern side straddling into the Epping Forest District of Essex. Woodford Green was formerly in the administrative county of Essex, until it was absorbed into the newly created Greater London in 1965.
==Politics==
Woodford Green is part of the parliamentary constituency of Chingford and Woodford Green, represented by Iain Duncan Smith, leader of the Conservative Party from 2001 to 2003, and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions since 2010. Duncan Smith is a successor of Sir Winston Churchill, who was also MP for this area and is commemorated by a statue on Woodford Green erected in 1959.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Clement Attlee, later Labour Prime Minister from 1945 to 1951, had a residence in Woodford Green, the seat of his political adversary, Winston Churchill. A blue plaque to that effect resides on Attlee's former house in Monkhams Avenue.
Sylvia Pankhurst lived in Woodford Green from 1924 to 1956, originally in the High Road, and from 1933 in Charteris Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sylviapankhurst.com/about_sylvia_pankhurst/sylvia_in_woodford.php )〕 In 1935, Pankhurst commissioned and dedicated a memorial in Woodford High Road to the victims of Italian aerial bombing in Ethiopia.
