Map of the UK

Valley is an electoral ward in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, sitting in the lower reaches of the Lea Valley on the edge of London. Its boundaries include stretches of river and marshland, giving parts of the ward a surprisingly green and semi-industrial character compared with the denser residential streets nearby.

The area has an industrial and riverside heritage but now mixes Victorian terraced housing with more recent developments, small local businesses and community projects. Residents benefit from nearby open spaces such as the Walthamstow Marshes, a range of grassroots cultural activity and relatively straightforward transport links into the centre of London, all of which shape a diverse and actively engaged local community.
