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.

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.

Eat17
This restaurant in a converted ballroom has a varied menu of hearty British meals with a foodie twist.
"The name Walthamstow is derived from "place where guests are welcome" and appears in the Domesday Book as Wilcumestou. It remains to this day a very friendly place!"
The opening of the Overground line at Walthamstow Station has really boosted the area.

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

Tottenham has seen so much regeneration recently, yet retains its history and green spaces.
