Open Homes workspaceAbout Walthamstow
Walthamstow grew from a rural Essex village into a dense north-east London suburb with the arrival of railways and trams. It has a strong arts-and-crafts legacy through the William Morris Gallery, housed in Morris’s former family home, and a long market tradition: Walthamstow Market is often described as the longest outdoor street market in Europe. Close to the Lee Valley, Epping Forest and the Victoria line, Walthamstow has become one of east London’s most popular rental areas for young professionals and families.
