I've just moved from Walthamstow (renting) to Aldersbrook (flat purchase)- which is basically within walking distance of the nice bits of Leytonstone/Forest Gate/Wanstead.
Was extremely eager, almost desperate, to stay in Walthamstow but there just wasn't anything that ticked all the boxes coming up at a sensible price.
Lucky to have a completely renovated 2 bedroom flat here with a 999 year lease and a separate garage. Have Wanstead Flats about 50 metres from my front door and can ride or run singletrack up to Epping Forest without touching road once.
Only weird thing is that there is no station or shops nearby, but really doesn't bother me at all.
