For that in Forest Gate you'd get a beautiful big place in the 'village' area right near Wanstead Flats. Not sure there's quite enough in Forest Gate now to make it a proper sought-after location but it's got some really nice housing, countryside, a very decent pub, great Indian/Pakistani good nearby, an anti fascist football club and a craft beer shop...
Crossrail etc is only going to make it better as well.

Thanks all - Yeah the only times I've been to Leyton are for Oceano or to go to see the O's!
I think our budget is likely to be 500-600k but I'm still waiting to hear on that exactly from a mortgage advisor (as we're first time buyers). Ideally I'd go for somewhere cheaper, do it up and put our stamp on it but her indoors isn't a huge fan of dust and rubble! It will also be in around 12-18 months so I'm allowing for upward price fluctuations.
