We moved to just south of Cann hall rd, E11-E7 border, around 4.5 yrs ago.
Was a very cheap area to buy at the time, obviously had to compromise a bit, not much in the way of 'cool stuff' right on your doorstep, if that's your thing.
The area is quite quiet, the local community is very friendly, tons of green space and new amenities (Olympic park etc) opening up.
Now have a family and feel quite settled here.
Our street has had an influx of Claptonites from E5 over the last 6 months so prices have shot up a fair bit. Leytonstone high rd and Woodgrange rd, Forest gate seem to be changing a lot.
