What's on in Waltham Forest
Things to do in Waltham Forest draw on a creative north east London borough taking in Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone and Chingford, bordered by the wild expanse of Epping Forest. Named London's first Borough of Culture, it pairs grassroots arts and a strong design heritage, the home of William Morris, with green open space. Expect the William Morris Gallery, the food and music of Walthamstow Village, and the long Walthamstow Market. You will find the breweries and arts venues of Blackhorse Lane, the wetlands and reservoirs of Walthamstow Wetlands, the open forest at Chingford and Hollow Ponds, and a lively independent and community culture.
