Pretoria Road. Leytonstone is tricky to look around in some ways, because some of the South end of it is still a shithole. However, go a little West towards Leyton, and it improves. However, as you go North from Leyton station towards Bakers Arms, some of that is a bit scabby until you go East, back towards the North end of Leytonstone.
I originally started looking in Walthamstow, but I couldn't handle the number of people pushing buggies around in the nicer areas.
I'm moving from Bethnal Green / Hackney Road. My rent is £19K a year, pissed down the drain, and my landlord is a terrible cunt. I hope that I will do better in the long run by buying somewhere.
