We visit Chingford every year and never tire of taking a walk through Epping Forest. There are scores of pathways, frequent meadows and interesting historical locations, including a commemorative plaque to T.E. Lawrence. There is a cute little pond where you can find ducks. There is also a famous boy scout camp on the edge.

Great place to unwind, take stroll, sit, walk the dog everyday, particularly nice on Sundays. Bowling, open air gym, large fields at the back of the park. Parking is available but not huge.

Housed in William Morris's home from 1848 - 1856, this is a 'must see' for anyone interested in William Morris and/or the Arts & Crafts movement. The exhibitions tell the story of William Morris, his philisophy and his designs through a wide range of historic furniture, designs, textiles, books, stained glass and photographs, with many examples by other artists and designers working with Morris and in the Arts & Crafts style. There is also a display of work by Sir Frank Brangwyn, a student of Morris's and, at the current time, two temporary exhibitions, one of the work of three contemporary designers based in the local Blackhorse Workshop and one on propaganda posters and other materials from China in the 1960's and '70's which are fascinating. The Museum backs onto the Lloyd Park which is enjoyable to explore and from which you can appreciate how well the modern wing with the excellent cafe and gallery space, blends in with the original building.
