“As a long-time resident and Manager of our South Woodford office, I can say this area captures the best of London living.

It offers leafy surroundings, a warm community and great local amenities while staying well connected to the City and West End.

I live locally and love exploring on my mountain bike, from the River Roding to Epping Forest and Claybury Park.

Having so much green space nearby makes South Woodford feel far removed from central London. Housing is varied, with Victorian, Edwardian, 1930s and modern homes to suit all lifestyles.

At the centre is George Lane, home to M&S, Waitrose and independent cafés.

The International Supermarket is a local gem for global ingredients, and the Odeon cinema and friendly pubs add to the community feel. For fitness, Boxx & Pause Pilates are popular.

With great schools, strong transport links and a real sense of belonging, South Woodford offers an ideal city suburb balance”. Tony platt E18 branch manager
