Woodford Court

Woodford Court is a large public housing project completed in 1974 in Shepherd's Bush, London.

[1] Woodford Court was the source of controversy in 2008 when a London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham councillor, Lucy Ivimy, apologised for apparently accusing Indian people of throwing rubbish from windows.

Woodford Court was the home of one Anthony Charles, a suspect in a failed attempt to steal £90 million in gold bullion and cash from a Swissport cargo warehouse at Heathrow Airport, London, in 2004.

[citation needed] Charles was the driver of a stolen Mercedes-Benz vehicle used in the attempted robbery.

Charles entered an early plea of guilty to conspiracy to rob, and was jailed for six years and nine months.
