Walthamstow Village is a small conservation area centred around Orford Road. A hive of activity, the village is composed of excellent restaurants and pubs, a 12th century church, a 15th century ‘tall house’ and a former police station Vestry House that is now a museum. Wonder around the area taking in the history as you go, the museum is free to enter and has a wonderful garden that is perfect for an al fresco coffee which can be bought from some of the lovely cafes nearby.
