Why move to South Chingford?

If you want the best of both worlds - open spaces and easy access to the City, then South Chingford is a great choice. Still one of London's best kept secrets, this North-East London suburb, sandwiched between up-and-coming Walthamstow, and the more affluent North Chingford, has huge potential for home buyers and investors.

South Chingford has an intimate village feel, with a cohesive community, as evidenced by the tireless activities of the 'Love South Chingford' campaign.

A short history

In the 11th Century, Chingford was recorded in the Domesday Book as a small settlement. It wasn't until the railway came in 1873 that rapid expansion really began. Even so, this was chiefly confined to North Chingford, while the South remained a small agricultural community until the 1920's.

From the 1930's, the nearby dog track at Walthamstow brought crowds to the area, and was dubbed "The Victoria Line's Las Vegas". The stadium was opened by aviator Amy Johnson, and was used in 1945 by Winston Churchill to address the people during his election campaign. The stadium fell into disrepair and was finally closed in 2008, but the iconic art deco neon façade has recently been restored to its former glory, with 300 new homes on the site.
