Renting in Leyton

What's it like to live in Leyton?

Leyton has ridden the wave of east London gentrification, following in Walthamstow's footsteps. The Central line reaches the City in under 20 minutes. Leyton High Road has new restaurants and bars opening regularly, and the Leyton Orient football club gives the area sporting identity. It borders the Olympic Park, providing access to world-class leisure facilities. Housing is predominantly Victorian terraces — many with gardens — at prices that undercut Walthamstow. It's a solid choice for young professionals who want east London vibes without east London prices.
