Located in Walthamstow, ‘Britain’s coolest neighbourhood’,  Forest Road offers culture, food to die for, and endless entertainment. Here’s why this location is perfect for modern urban living:

  • Hoe Street: Hoe street is located between the east and west of Walthamstow, and is pretty much the best of both worlds. You’ll find 5 star restaurants hidden between a greasy spoon and a yoga studio. So, whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it here.
  • Commuters Paradise: With transport links surrounding you, you can take your pick between bus, train and your own two feet! Walthamstow central is a mere 12 minute walk away, and you can hop on the tube to Kings Cross in just 14 minutes.
  • Walthamstow Village: The oldest part of Walthamstow, Waltham village, is a Conservation Area on Orford Road. Take a stroll through the part of the neighbour hood and discover popular spots like Eat17 and The Ancient House.
  • Green Space: City maker or not, everyone needs a bit of fresh air. With beautiful green spaces like Lloyd Park and Walthamstow Wetlands just around the corner, morning walks and picnics in the park have never been easier.
