Bushwood, Leytonstone

Bushwood is an area in the north of Leytonstone in East London; determined by the curved boundary of the road called Bushwood along the edge of Wanstead Flats, Lister Road to the south and High Road, Leytonstone to the west. The area has the Browning Road Conservation Area, that contains what remains of the historic hamlet of Leyton-atte-stone.

The area has many tree-lined streets with Victorian and Edwardian houses, which continue to attract professionals and young families. The area is popular for its proximity to Wanstead Flats and Wanstead Park, quick access to restaurants, cafés and shops, and transport links into central London via the Central Line. Bushwood, a neighborhood with around 1,500 homes, is known for its exceptionally active and strong residents' association. This group fosters community spirit through events and innovative and creative initiatives, and also publishes a quarterly magazine called The Bush Telegraph.
