About Gants Hill

The name Gants Hill originates from Richard le Gant, who is recorded as living in the area in 1285.

The area is mostly residential with a selection of retail outlets, a wide variety of restaurants, pubs, bars and a hotel. Valentines Park is located between Gants Hill and nearby Ilford.

The famous Gants Hill roundabout first appeared around 1928 and later the Underground Station was built underneath in the 1930's. Work was suspended at the outbreak of World War II and the already built tube tunnel was used as an air-raid shelter and by Plessey Ltd for munitions production from 1940-1945. The line was completed by London Underground in 1947.

The Savoy Cinema was opened on 3rd September 1934 and originally seated 1726 people. It became the Odeon in 1949 and has since been converted into a multi screen theatre. Sadly the Odeon closed it's doors for the final time in March 2002 and was demolished in March 2003. Construction is currently under way for a major redevelopment at present incorporating luxury apartments and a shopping complex

Famous faces to have come from the area include singer Louise Wiener, actress Louise Lombard, actor David Rappaport, athlete Tessa Sanderson, cricketer Nasser Hussein, Bobby Moore, and boxer Nigel Benn.

Gants Hill also has the largest Jewish community in Europe, and an increasing Asian Community
