Cross the road and go down Ferndale Road to reach the open spaces of Wanstead Flats, or go for a stroll through Bush Wood followed by a drink in the North Star in picturesque Browning Road. Indeed if you're feeling energetic you could use this as a starting point to walk out towards Epping - look at a large scale map of N.E. London and you will see a wedge of green stretching out from Leytonstone towards Epping. Leytonstone Tube (Central Line) is a 5-10 min walk away.

Nearest station to Clapton FC (Essex Senior League; ground located halfway down Upton Lane) – a club with a glorious amateur past, now experiencing a welcome revival after years in the doldrums. Their ground is also shared by Eastern Counties League club Hackney Wick FC.
