Leytonstone North

Leytonstone North sits in the northern part of the Waltham Forest borough. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses alongside more modern housing developments. It is bordered by Wanstead Flats to the east, a large expanse of grassland that provides open space and forms part of Epping Forest. Local shopping needs are served by several parades of independent shops and convenience stores along streets like Cathall Road.

The area is well-connected by public transport, with Leytonstone Underground station on the Central line serving the southern edge. The neighbourhood is home to several primary schools and community centres, fostering a local focus. The presence of the Hollow Ponds and the adjacent Whipps Cross University Hospital are significant local landmarks. The overall atmosphere is quiet and suburban, with the green spaces offering a distinct contrast to the denser urban areas nearby.
