Charlton Hornfair (ward)

Charlton Hornfair is a ward in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, located in south-east London, England. It is situated within the parliamentary constituency of Greenwich and Woolwich. The ward takes its name from the historic Horn Fair, a once-popular, if boisterous, annual fair that was held in Charlton.

The ward is primarily residential, consisting of a mix of housing types including Victorian terraced houses, post-war developments, and more recent construction. Key features of the ward include Charlton Village, Charlton Park, and the Charlton Athletic Football Club's stadium, The Valley.

Charlton Village retains a distinct village atmosphere with a range of local shops, pubs, and restaurants. Charlton Park is a large green space that hosts various events throughout the year.

The ward is represented by three councillors on Greenwich Council, elected through a multi-member ward system. The political composition of the ward council representation is subject to change at local elections.

Historically, the area has been associated with industry, particularly shipbuilding and manufacturing, although these industries have largely declined in recent decades. The modern-day economy is more diverse, with residents working in a variety of sectors including professional services, retail, and the public sector.

The ward is served by good transport links, including Charlton railway station, which provides direct services to central London and other destinations. Several bus routes also operate within the ward.
