“It's diverse and vibrant. A great place to live. Walthamstow is the place for all people, for families and professionals wishing to be part of a close community.”

“Walthamstow Village is definitely one of the best urban villages in London. Here, you can find fantastic schools, pubs and restaurants, an abundance of groups for babies and children and a real sense of community. Just outside the village, we now have The Scene development which has brought a cinema back to the area along with a number of great chain restaurants.”

North and South 1: David Collins + Sue Conroy
David is from the South and Sue from the Northeast of England, and these young singer/guitarists are sharing an evening of traditional and original songs. David's music is a mix of traditional ballads, his own very personal songs, and some contemporary works. All are underpinned by his gentle nuanced guitar playing supporting the tradition of story and ballad singing. Folk London likened him to Chris Wood as a songwriter, and he was a semi-finalist at the Young Folk Musician Awards in 2011. Sue's skilful and prolific songwriting have made her a hit on the Northeast folk scene. Her songs range from feisty protests to dreamy lyrical ballads, which capture her love of the outdoors. Her distinctive voice and accomplished guitar playing had her supporting Robb Johnson during his last visit up north.Read more
