At the northern end of the London Underground’s Victoria Line lies the quaint and quirky Walthamstow. Wedged between the ancient Epping Forest (yeah, a real forest in London), the River Lea and some of East London’s more ‘authentic’ (read edgy) areas, Walthamstow is an London-y as it gets in a lot of ways while still keeping its own charm and distinctive style.
Here’s a list – which would have been next to impossible to compile if not for the knowledge and passion of Walthamstow resident, @DolceDini – featuring some of Walthamstow’s best bits.
