Renovation
Gants Hill roundabout and the surrounding area underwent extensive renovation, beginning in June 2009. The works were paid for by Transport For London. The project introduced new signalised pedestrian crossings around the roundabout whilst the Gants Hill subways received new floor tiles and coloured banding on the walls.[http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/projectsandschemes/4988.aspx ] The renovations were completed in late September 2010 with the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, visiting the roundabout. Boris Johnson also unveiled a plaque to mark his visit.

Transport
Formerly part of the A406, Woodford Avenue has now been renumbered as the A1400 and a new section of the A406 has been built through Redbridge, London and Ilford to Barking and Beckton. The A12 road (Great Britain) runs east-west, and the A123, Cranbrook Road, runs north-south, through Gants Hill roundabout, which is also the endpoint of the A1400. All these roads have several bus routes along them (see [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/gettingaround/maps/buses/pdf/gantshill-2096.pdf map]). A minor road, Clarence Avenue, also comes off the roundabout.
Gants Hill tube station on the Central Line of the London Underground is underneath the roundabout. There are several entrances to the station, and the pedestrian tunnels to the station also form an underpass for people wishing to cross the busy roads near the roundabout.
