Neighbourhood profile
Leytonstone
Waltham Forest, London
Leytonstone sits in the south of Waltham Forest around the Central line station and the approach to Wanstead Flats, a ward anchored by a busy high street and a mix of Victorian terraces and postwar estates. The listed-building set of five entries includes the Grade II* Leytonstone Library, the Grade II Leytonstone House (an early-nineteenth-century villa once owned by the Buxton family) and the Grade II Church of St John the Baptist. Public-transport access is good, anchored by Leytonstone on the Central line. Fourteen outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, the nonFood venue count of 213 is strong and the culture score of 35 reflects an active local food and live-music scene. The drawbacks are specific. Safety sits at 39 below the London median, pollution scores are weak at 40 reflecting the A12 corridor, green space is thin at 3.5 hectares — residents walk to Wanstead Flats — and conservation-area coverage is negligible at under one percent of the ward.
