Established as Mauritius Sports in 2002, the club was founded with the aim of providing a good standard of footballing opportunity for the Mauritian community in London, as well as providing a feeder for British-born Mauritians to play for their country at international level. The new club joined Division One of the London Intermediate League for the 2001–02 season, before becoming members of the Premier Division of the Middlesex County League in 2003. They merged with CMB (Metal Box) in 2004, and played as Mauritius Sports (CMB) in the 2004–05 season before reverting to their original name.
The club were accepted into the Essex Senior League for the 2007–08 season following a merger of Mauritius Sports and Walthamstow Avenue & Pennant and were initially named Mauritius Sports & Pennant. Two years later they were renamed Mauritius Sports Association UK, before becoming Haringey & Waltham Development in 2011. Following its association with the Greenhouse London sports charity, the club changed its name again in 2013, becoming Greenhouse London, and then Greenhouse Sports in 2015. The club became Haringey & Waltham in 2016. Although they finished bottom of the league in 2016–17, they were reprieved from relegation. They then changed their name to Woodford Town 2017 for the 2017–18 season, succeeding the club who left the Spartan South Midlands League in 2016. The 2017 part of the name was dropped in 2019.
In 2023–24 Woodford were runners-up in the Essex Senior League, qualifying for the promotion play-offs.
