Where do IG8 locals go?

Woodford Wine Room

Woodford Wine Room

A small and friendly wine shop. They even sell wine from a barrel if you bring your own bottle to fill up.

Virgin Active, Repton Park

Virgin Active, Repton Park

Not somewhere accessible to every local, but worth a mention all the same. The pool here is set within a converted church and is one of the most relaxing places to come and reflect upon your day...or just reflect on life.

Vinoramica

Vinoramica

Lovely owner with amazing selection of craft beers and wines.

The Flower Pot

The Flower Pot

Fantastic quiz night on Tuesdays, music, really old feel pub, hasn't been gentrified. Very friendly, very low staff turnover which is a good sign.

La Baita

La Baita

It's reasonably priced and extremely friendly with quality food. Many regular customers so it's always a good idea to make a reservation.

Wanstead Farmers' Market

Wanstead Farmers' Market

Great locally produced food. Look out for TTaste street food serving freshly made gyoza (Chinese dumplings) served with TTaste homemade chilli oil.

120 Station Road

120 Station Road

Cozy relaxed bar, friendly owners and staff. Great cocktails, beers, and liquor coffees. Close to Epping Forest - a great place for a walk.

God's Own Junkyard

God's Own Junkyard

Enough to brighten any overcast day... Head over to this warehouse for a sensory overload. A crazy feast of colours with store signs and lights, it's a truly hipster place!

Aura Rosa

Serving afternoon tea on a Sunday at Mother's Ruin Gin Palace, I recommend the Guinness cake!

Mother's Ruin Gin Palace

Mother's Ruin Gin Palace

A lovely range of gin cocktails made with any gin you can possibly think of!

Wildcard Brewery Tap Bar

Wildcard Brewery Tap Bar

A beautifully simple place with beers brewed on site. A lovely laid back feel with the occasional live band playing!

The Italian Delicatessen of Walthamstow

The Italian Delicatessen of Walthamstow

The deli counter stocks a superb range of Italian cheeses, cured meats and crudités to enjoy as antipasti or ingredients. Freshly-baked breads include focaccia. Superb quality wines and spirits. The warm welcome and customer service is what makes this delicatessen authentic. A great shop in Walthamstow.

William Morris Gallery

William Morris Gallery

As well as showcasing Morris's works, you can also learn about the wider art world through exhibitions and workshops.

Cove17

Cove17

New addition to Hoe Street and another sign of positive improvement in the area. Affordable accessories for gentlemen, some of which are produced by local manufacturers; fantastic barbers, and plenty of interesting conversation while you sit and wait. The owners also produce their own beard oil on site.

The Village Bakery

The Village Bakery

Great for al fresco breakfasts and lunch in the heart of the village and they do a mean BBQ Pork Bap Special!

Why not explore the nearby areas of Woodford, Woodford Green, Highams Park, Roding, Buckhurst Hill, Chingford, Wanstead, Walthamstow and Higham Hill

"Vinegar Alley behind Saint Mary's Church, Walthamstow is so called because local people used vinegar to sanitise the plague pits that were dug around here."

A lovely place to relax or have a picnic, Epping Forest has a picturesque lake where you can hire a boat for £15 an hour.

Natalie Mills

The opening of the Overground line at Walthamstow Station has really boosted the area.

Stan Fung

There's nothing you can't buy from Walthamstow Market, the longest outdoor street market in Europe.
