All You Read Is Love
My absolute fave hang out is this uber cool independent bookshop, café and bar run by a lovely Danish pair in Bushwood, Leytonstone. They hold great Scratch Nights for up and coming artists. Real unique personality to it - comedy, magic, music gigs and book launches. Fab cocktails and coffee too. In the daytime, it's the perfect place to buy or just chill with a book.Read more

"Following the devastation of The Blitz, rubble was dumped beneath Hackney Marshes, which allowed the bogs to drain. This encouraged grass to grow and become the picturesque spot it is today."
Stratford has become a shopping destination after the construction of the Westfield shopping centre.

I love walking along the Lee Navigation in Hackney Wick and looking at all the charming narrow boats.

The opening of the Overground line at Walthamstow Station has really boosted the area.

What locals say about South Woodford
“Living in Repton park a gated development in Woodford green has many highlights. Beautiful green surroundings. Very tranquil area. Benefit from the gym at outdoor step and lovely green grass areas for our kids. Not to over populated so very peaceful. Big high ceiling homes which have a lovely homely feel. Feels like a safe community spirit. Close to local shops too. True what we were told when we first saw a place here that once we live in this area we won't want to leave and it's true we don't.”
