A word from the expert...

"South Woodford was home for the first 25 years of my life. As I get older, I realise how lucky I am to have grown up here, an area with such fantastic schools, amenities, and green space. George Lane is the main hub, where you’ll find the Central line station, as well as a great selection of supermarkets - M&S, Sainsburys, Waitrose and a Co-op. On top of this, is a fantastic choice of bars, pubs and restaurants, as well as an Odeon Cinema, library and gym. You really do have everything on your doorstep. Personal picks for food include the Japanese restaurant Sakura and local favourite Nino’s. South Woodford boasts a great stock of Victorian/ Edwardian family homes, as well as newer purpose-built blocks of flats and conversions, so attracts families and young professionals. It has great transport connections to the City and Canary Wharf, and with Epping Forest on your doorstep it’s got the perfect balance of everything you need. My favourite local spots for walking are the Hollow Ponds and the tucked away Elmhurst Gardens, with its two tennis courts. All round, it’s a fantastic place to call home."
