About Upper Walthamstow
Upper Walthamstow gives you a direct railway link into central London and crime rates that sit well below the London average — a solid pick if you're commuting and want somewhere quieter. Families here do well: there are Outstanding-rated primary schools and Good secondary options in the neighbourhood, plus parks, a nature reserve and green space on your doorstep. House prices are mid-range compared to other local areas, which means you'll get better value than you would in smarter spots like Wanstead Village and South Woodford. Flats are competitively priced too. The air quality is excellent, and you've got cafés, restaurants and supermarkets just beyond the neighbourhood boundary to keep everyday life ticking over.
