Our Neighbourhood
We love Leyton
Get inspired, entertained, fed and watered
Leyton has all the creativity of Hackney, plus a friendly, community feel. We love it for its innovative start ups, vibrant social scene, foodie destinations, and inspiring arts and culture calendar. And thanks to the Central line it’s super convenient for the rest of London.
