Its been a great place to live and Ive loved seeing the area grow and thrive. I was surprised at just how quiet and peaceful the apartment is given the hustle and bustle of Hoe Street. Walthamstow is an amazing neighbourhood and Ive been spoiled with the apartments location both for my commute into central London and being so close to such a diverse and exciting range of shops, restaurants, and things to do.
