Location
Located in Walthamstow, ‘Britain’s coolest neighbourhood’, Forest Road offers culture, food to die for, and endless entertainment. Here’s why this location is perfect for modern urban living:
- Hoe Street: Hoe street is located between the east and west of Walthamstow, and is pretty much the best of both worlds. You’ll find 5 star restaurants hidden between a greasy spoon and a yoga studio. So, whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it here.
- Commuters Paradise: With transport links surrounding you, you can take your pick between bus, train and your own two feet! Walthamstow central is a mere 12 minute walk away, and you can hop on the tube to Kings Cross in just 14 minutes.
- Walthamstow Village: The oldest part of Walthamstow, Waltham village, is a Conservation Area on Orford Road. Take a stroll through the part of the neighbour hood and discover popular spots like Eat17 and The Ancient House.
- Green Space: City maker or not, everyone needs a bit of fresh air. With beautiful green spaces like Lloyd Park and Walthamstow Wetlands just around the corner, morning walks and picnics in the park have never been easier.
Home Features
We carefully designed these Pocket homes to match the lifestyles of modern city makers. Here’s what to expect in these affordable homes in London:

From evenings on the rooftop with friends, to growing veg in the allotment beds, Forest Road was designed to create a community. Here are some amenities in these affordable homes in London, to keep your everyday life interesting:
- Community Rooftop Terraces: These affordable homes in London feature two communal rooftop terraces with views of Lloyd Park and beyond. These spaces are perfect for relaxing, evening drinks, or exercising.

Sustainability
- Highly Insulated Homes: These affordable homes in London are highly insulated, meaning they efficiently retain heat. Not only will this keep you comfortable in those grisly winter months, it’ll also reduce your monthly energy costs.
- Solar Power: Solar panels contribute to the electricity supply for communal areas which is a step towards cleaner, renewable energy sources.
- Natural Light: Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the development allow natural daylight to brighten up your living space and minimise the need for artificial lighting.
- Air Source Heat Pumps: This scheme utilises air source heat pumps to provide renewable heating and hot water. This technology reduces our carbon footprint whilst making certain you’ll be comfortable.
- Brownfield Site Development: The homes are constructed on an urban brownfield site. By reusing existing sites, we’re helping to protect London’s Green Belt and reducing new construction on untouched land.
