St. Margaret's is an urban ward in Ipswich, Suffolk, England, situated within easy reach of the town centre and transport links. It is predominantly residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and later 20th‑century housing, local shops and community facilities that give the area a strong neighbourhood character.
The ward reflects Ipswich’s 19th‑century expansion as a regional port and railway town, so historic streets and churches sit alongside more recent social housing and community projects. It has a diverse population and active local groups, and although not a major commercial hub itself, residents benefit from proximity to central Ipswich’s employment, cultural amenities and parks.
