About

Loughton East lies within the London Borough of Redbridge, bordering Epping Forest to the north and east. The area is primarily residential, characterised by quiet streets of semi-detached and detached houses built largely in the interwar period.

The local centre is focused along Traps Hill, which hosts a range of independent shops and everyday amenities. A notable local landmark is the Warren, a historic house and former hunting lodge now surrounded by golf courses and forest land. The Central line Underground station at Debden provides a direct connection to central London, making it a commuter settlement with easy access to extensive green space.
