We keep an ear to the ground and know what developments are in the pipeline. When a new shop, public house or restaurant is coming to Forest Gate we often know about it first.

Forest Gate is a hidden gem that is just buzzing with life and a hive of activity. With most of the property in the area built in the Victorian era Forest Gate has a charm that is unsurpassed east of the Thames. Originally the way in to Epping Forest, a gate was placed to stop cattle roaming into residential areas and Forest Gate was born. Part of the original forest area is still a large green recreation space, protected by law from development, called Wanstead Flats, and is hugely enjoyed by locals for sports, events and picnics alike. A genuine community has built up around good Ofsted rated schools, great coffee shops, local traders markets and events of all kinds such as the annual Forest Gate festival. At the heart of Forest Gates' commercial area we are actively involved in our community in more ways than one. Around the Christmas period we can be caught donning elves outfits as part of our ongoing sponsorship of local school events. We are genuinely part of this community ourselves, not only are we estate agents but we live here as well and take pride in our area.
