Things to see and do in Chingford
A huge part of Chingford’s charm is being able to lose yourself in pretty natural environments just steps from home. This starts at the Chingford Plain which forms the northern part of town, home to Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge and the Connaught Club, great if you’re into lawn bowling. On the edge of the plain is Connaught Water, a beautiful spot for a walk which leads you into the vast Epping Forest.
In the opposite direction, the Lee Valley reservoir chain and sprawling Lee Valley Park provide you with endless opportunities for walking, cycling and running, while you can even try your hand at white water rafting too. From Hawkwood Nature Reserve to the stunning views up Lippitts Hill, this is a wonderful place to live if you love being outdoors.
