Markhouse
Waltham Forest, London
Markhouse sits between Walthamstow and Leyton, cut by the A104 Lea Bridge Road. Four listed buildings include the Grade II* Church of St Barnabas and St James the Greater, the Grade II St Barnabas' Rectory and the Grade II Parish Hall. There is no conservation coverage. Green space is very thin at 1.5 hectares with Thomas Gamuel Park the main formal patch. Schools are solid with fifteen outstanding nearby, culture scores moderately and public-transport access is good at 4 via St James Street and Walthamstow Queen's Road. The drawbacks are numerous: safety sits below the median, air pollution is moderate, non-food venue provision is modest at fifty-three, heritage scores thinly, and market affordability is only moderate.
