Explore Waltham Forest
A creative northeast borough where Victorian villages meet ancient forest and a thriving independent scene.
About Waltham Forest
Waltham Forest, London's inaugural Borough of Culture, has become one of the capital's most creative and desirable places to live. Walthamstow is its beating heart, with the world's longest outdoor market, the extraordinary William Morris Gallery, and the neon-lit nostalgia of God's Own Junkyard. To the north, Epping Forest brings thousands of acres of ancient woodland right to the city's edge, while Leyton and Leytonstone offer buzzing independent cafes, breweries and a strong community spirit.
