There are numerous churches and chapels representing many Christian denominations, as well as several synagogues and a mosque.

Transport
Road
South Woodford sits at the junction of the A406 road with the start of the M11 motorway, which begins at "Charlie Brown's Roundabout" and is accessible from the "Water Works" roundabout. "Charlie Brown's roundabout" is named after the pub which was demolished in 1989 when the roundabout was enlarged to accommodate flyover sliproads onto the newly constructed motorway.
South Woodford also offers easy access to the A1400 road, which merges into the A12 road (England), as well as access to the A12 from "Green Man's" roundabout and the A104 road (England) which is known as Lea Bridge Road and is a major link to areas of central London via London Borough of Hackney
Train
George Lane itself is split into two by the Central Line rail track with the western part of the road containing the majority of shops and businesses. There was originally a level crossing at this point, but now a flyover (locally referred to as "the Viaduct") carries traffic between the east and west sides of George Lane.
The area is served by South Woodford tube station in Travelcard Zone 4 on the Central Line of the London Underground.

There are many bus routes which connect South Woodford to other parts of London, including the N55 night bus from central London. All services serve George Lane and South Woodford Station, excluding route 123 which only serves the North Circular stops in South Woodford, and route 549 which only serves South Woodford Station and George Lane South.
