The South East England / Greater London region

Leytonstone was initially the gateway to the City of London and has been trodden by countless millions from the 10th Roman Legion over two thousand years ago to the latter day legions of men and women who work in the City of London and Docklands.

Famous people that have lived in Leytonstone include Sir Alfred Hitchcock, David Beckham and Jonathan Ross.

One infamous person who passed through Leytonstone and reputably stayed at the Green Man (now O’Neill’s Pub) was Essex born Highwayman Dick Turpin on route to Norwich and eventually his appointment with the Hangman at York in 1739

Leytonstone is thought to have taken its name from a Roman military distance marker and is shown on maps from early times as “Leyton Stone”.

The East London, England / Leytonstone area

Due to the Olympics, there has been an influx of Young City Professionals into the area, hence, an array of internet Cafes and Bars are readily available. Whilst there is a local night life in Leytonstone, the fact that the West-end (Greatest Party Area in the world!!) is only 15min -20 minutes door-to-door for most residents by tube, means everyone generally parties in the West-End and then leave the chaos to come back home to a totally residential and relatively peaceful area.

But for completeness here is a general overview of this part of London: Shopping is the lifeblood of any main centre in London and it’s the same in Leytonstone. An amazing array of shops, pubs and restaurants stretch the length of High Road.

In Leytonstone you can enjoy the benefits of shopping in the top high street stores and stock up at the best supermarkets. But you can also enjoy shopping at friendly smaller shops that have often been in the same family for generations, flowers, exotic fruits, jewellery and even good old-fashioned brushes and brooms, the choice is endless.

You are never far from a good pub, café or restaurant offering drinks and menus from around the world. Leytonstone enjoys the best of both worlds with pubs that in the 18th Century were stopping places for the Norwich Stage Coach. The Red Lion Pub (now called Zulus) was earlier known as the Robin Hood. As Leytonstone did not have a Town Hall the Red Lion was used as a meeting and social gathering place.

Epping Forest is the domineering parkland which still bedazzles tourists and locals alike with its charming lake and endless trees which makes you imagine you are miles away from London rather than in the middle of it. It is worthy a visit especially on a Sunday when the whole forest is buzzing with locals having picnics.

"The appartment was clean and as explaned in the advertizing. All facilities worked well and the neighbourhood felt safe and friendly and it was very multicultral. If you were looking for somewhere to stay on a modest budget with family or friends you couldn't go past this place. Everything you need is only minuets away by foot (including the tube) and the money you save by renting this appartment could DOUBLE the time you could afford stay in London and thats not easy from what I have discovered. The landlord was more than willing to explain every aspect of the neighbourhood and the facilities available which made our life a whole lot easier... thanks Babs.

Hi Babs,
Thanks for the e-mail confirming the return of our deposit.
We had an excellent stay in the flat - it was ideal for visiting
London.The interior decor was good, and the facilities (TV,Fridge-freezer, cooker,
microwave etc) excellent. Only comment we have is that the 'dining table + chairs' were too low
to use as a dining table.

regards

Anthony & Family

"Overall it was a good, clean, calm and pretty renovated apartment in an old house. It is great to relax after the action in London-City. You find small shops for food in 3 minutes to walk and bigger supermarkets with bus after 4 stations. Leytonstone isn't an area you would normally visit. But it was perfectly safe and convenient for us to get back and forth to/from the West-End. Last but not least: The landlord is extremely kind and helpful."

My partner and i stayed at this apartment during our stay in london back in feb 09.

The apartment was as stated : Plenty of space & tastefully decorated . We were working whilst we stayed there so spent most nights cooking dinner back at the apartment . We found it helpful to have a house which felt like being at home with a proper kitchen and dining area to eat in.

The tube station is about a ten minute walk away and there is a little welcome booklet the owner leaves there , which has a list of local taxi cabs nearby for you to call if you needed. Our experience with the holiday home owner was brilliant . He was very courteous and replied immediately to any enquiries we had .

Leytonstone isn't an area you would normally visit. But it was perfectly Safe and convenient for us to get back and forth to central london from. I would happily Re - book this house for any future visits and of course gladly recommend it to friends as well.
kind regards

Sehr ruhige schön renovierte Wohnung in altem Vorstadthaus mit toller Wiesenparklandschaft in Fußnähe. Ideal um nach dem Trubel in London-City zu entspannen. Supermärkte ein paar Minuten entfernt, ebenso Bus und Bahn. Ca. 15 min bis zur Central-Line, halbe Stunde in die Innenstadt.
Alles Top!

English Translation Below:
Very quiet beautifully renovated apartment in an old suburban house with a great meadow park within walking distance. Perfect to relax to after the excitement in London City. Supermarkets a few minutes away, as well as bus and train. Approx. 15 min to Central Line, half an hour into the city. Otherwise all Top!
----------------------
We had a great stay. I knew the area and London quite well as I have lived there before so it was great to be back and meet friends, etc.
The flat is great even though I think it is a bit pricy for long term let in the area (but then again if you are renting for holidays and not monthly is not a bad deal I guess).
The neighbours are great and the street is nice and quiet. Everyone was really nice and it was great to see neighbours playing around with each other with the snow.
One thing, for someone that might want to cook, it should have a couple of more things, like a frying pan, bread knife, cutting knife and so on (which I know the landlord is putting now).
Apart from this, it is a great place to stay, the landlord is extremely nice and helpful and we will come again whenever we go back to London as long as he has availability.
