Police were called to reports of a fight in the early hours of this morning (Tuesday) on Warwick Road.
The man, in his 30s, was taken to hospital by paramedics, but later died.
Officers are working to inform his family and a formal identification has not yet taken place.
A neighbour who didn't want to be named said that she heard a mixture of male and female voices arguing in the early hours.
Of the stabbing happening close to her home, she said: "It's just a bit scary."
Another neighbour, who has lived in the adjacent Romford Road for two years, said: "I don't feel very safe, to be honest. "I feel like I have to move to another area, because, here, it's not safe."
