Forest Gate Area Guide


Our area guide to Forest Gate gives you a quick overview of the neighbourhood from its properties, public parks, local schools, council tax, public transport links to shopping and going out.

Postcodes covered by this area guide include E7

This area, though in the East End of London, benefits from its wide open spaces and the atmosphere of the Wanstead Flats. This is a much overlooked area.

  • Property Types & Architecture

    Named after the southern gate to Epping Forest, Forest Gate is an area with a great range of Victorian houses of many sizes including double-fronted detached properties, semi's and terraces.

  • Shopping & Entertainment

    An exciting time of change for Forest Gate with the area around Forest Gate’s clock tower and the station hosting a popular local food and crafts market started by residents and held on Fridays, Saturdays and the last Sunday of the month. There are also trendy pop-up restaurants opening in the area. For those who love to shop, Westfield Stratford City is two stops away by train and as well as a plethora of shops and restaurants you can also find cinemas and a bowling alley.

  • Parks & Commons

    On the edge of Epping Forest, there isn't far to go to find the largest public open space in London. With events throughout the year there is no shortage of choice, including walking, running and cycling to horse riding, angling, football and even golf.

  • Who lives here?

    First-time buyers and those looking to step up the ladder to a larger property are attracted to Forest Gate and with trains to Liverpool Street taking only 13 minutes and the Crossrail set to open in early 2019, when trains to Tottenham Court Road will take 17 minutes, this area will no doubt continue to grow in popularity.
