- Despite the thriving amenities, there’s a surprising amount of green space nearby. For instance, head south via the Bushwood area - renowned for its wide, tree-lined streets of grand Victorian and Edwardian homes - and you’ll find the Wanstead Flats, once the favoured hunting ground of Henry VIII. Hollow Ponds, at the tip of Epping Forest, is also walking distance.
- Hop on a bus for a few stops and you’ll in find yourself in the iconic Olympic Park, and just beyond that, Westfield Stratford, which won’t need an introduction. Nearby there’s also East Bank, a unique collaboration between world-leading universities, arts and culture institutions, including Sadler’s Wells, BBC and V&A.

A word from the expert...

"Leytonstone is a unique, eclectic area, with great gastro pubs like Leytonstone Tavern and The Red Lion to bistro cafés like The Wild Goose Bakery and Back to Ours, along with the open green space of Wanstead Flats, a serene getaway from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
The area is full of history, with interesting, beautiful Grade II listed buildings like St John’s Baptist Church (built in 1832) and Leytonstone House, the 18th-century home of Sir Edward Buxton, notable mp and conservationist. There’s also St Andrew’s Church, built in 1886–1893 as a memorial to local philanthropist William Cotton.
Leytonstone Library is a great place to visit if you’re feeling studious and Leytonstone Leisure centre is close by for the more actively minded. Wanstead Park, in the former grounds of Wanstead House, takes in walking trails, cycle paths and several ornamental lakes — a great place to relax, exercise and soak up some local history.
With an array of buses and the Central line underground station close by, you can be in the City and surrounding areas within minutes."
