What's it like to live in Walthamstow?
Walthamstow — or "Awesomestow" as residents call it — has emerged as one of east London's best rental bargains. The Victoria line gets you to central London in 20 minutes, and Walthamstow Village has a genuine community feel with independent shops and restaurants. The area has Europe's longest street market (Walthamstow Market on the High Street), excellent breweries, and the Wetlands nature reserve for escaping the city. Rents are significantly below equivalent Zone 2 areas, attracting young families and professionals who are priced out of Hackney.
