Leytonstone is a ward in the north-east of the London Borough of Waltham Forest, sitting on the eastern edge of inner London and centred around the Broadway and Tube station. It benefits from surprisingly generous green space for an urban ward, with quick access to Wanstead Flats and the avenues that lead into Epping Forest, and it forms a bridge between the neighbouring districts of Leyton and Wanstead.
Culturally the area punches above its weight: a lively mix of independent cafés, shops and arts activity, a strong local community scene and the well-known Alfred Hitchcock connections that crop up in murals and trails. The local economy is largely high-street and small-business driven, with pockets of light industry and ongoing regeneration bringing changing housing pressures and a more diverse demographic over recent years.
