Woodford Green

Leafy Woodford Green borders Essex and Epping Forest, therefore residents benefit from having the ancient woodland on their doorstep. This villagey suburb has plenty of attractive pubs and eateries, however unlike its flashier neighbours Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill celebrities have not chosen to move here in droves and Woodford remains modest and low key. It’s quiet and popular with families and older couples who want to escape the big smoke, but they can still travel easily to the city via the Central Line or the rail. House prices are also a fair bit cheaper than many of the surrounding areas.
