Burdett Road, E3

Burdett Road is a major north-south road in east London.

Constructed in 1858, Burdett Road initially bore the name Victoria Park Approach Road as it provided access from the docks to Victoria Park. On 19 December 1862, it underwent a name change to Burdett Road in honour of philanthropist Angela Burdett-Coutts. The renaming faced objections from the Limehouse Board of Works, citing concerns of being unpatriotic, "ridiculous," and potentially detrimental to house prices. Nonetheless, the name Burdett Road was retained, as it had gained popularity in the Mile End area.

Burdett Road once had a station named after it. This closed in 1941.

In the present day, Burdett Road is integrated into the North and East London Red route system. Beyond the junction with Bow Road and Mile End Road, it continues as Burdett Road, serving as the western boundary of the Lansbury Estate. It ceases to demarcate the boundary of Mile End Park after passing Mile End Stadium and traversing under the London, Tilbury and Southend line.
