Living in Waltham Forest
Waltham Forest has undergone one of the most remarkable transformations in London over the past decade. Walthamstow has gone from an overlooked East London commuter suburb to one of London's trendiest addresses, driven by excellent value, Victoria line access, and the arrival of independent coffee shops, restaurants, and the famous Walthamstow Market — Europe's longest outdoor market. The borough was the first London Borough of Culture in 2019. Chingford to the north offers a more suburban feel with direct access to Epping Forest.
Waltham Forest is particularly popular with young creative professionals priced out of Hackney, first-time buyers, growing families, artists and makers.
Known for Victoria line for fast City and West End access, Walthamstow Village — independent shops and cafes, Epping Forest on the doorstep.
Transport: Walthamstow Central (Victoria line, Overground), Blackhorse Road (Victoria line), Leyton (Central), Leytonstone (Central), Highams Park (Overground), Chingford (Overground) — Zone 3/4
