Church End is home to a multicultural community with a strong spirit rooted in its Somali, Afghanistan, Afro-Caribbean and Eastern-European heritage. It boasts a Victorian high street with a mix of independent food, drink and convenience stores. The local centre is surrounded by light industrial estates but TV and film studio spaces.

The area is changing for the better and looks forward to welcoming 99 new council homes which will provide safe ad secure places for local people. The local council is investing £20million funding and the Greater London Authority (GLA) almost £10million towards these new homes and a brand new market square. Construction is expected to complete by 2025.
