Central Chingford is mainly residential with a mix of Georgian terraces, 1930’s built homes on wide tree-lined avenues and low rise maisonettes and apartment blocks. Station Road forms the focal point for retail and entertainment offering a mix of known chain stores and coffee bars alongside independent local traders, restaurants and cafés.

Chingford is so named due to the river Ching running through it and despite its proximity to London remained extremely rural and isolated up until the late 19th century. In 1882 Chingford assumed an annexed portion of Walthamstow parish, and in 1934 Chingford was further extended by acquiring a small part of Waltham Holy Cross urban district. The arrival of the railway from Walthamstow in 1873 saw an increase in local industry and demand for housing stock. Development commenced in earnest close to Chingford station and branching out towards Higham’s Park.
Chingford’s population grew until the commencement of WW1 and fluctuated greatly throughout both world wars until it started to climb again in 1931. Arguments ensued over who was to become the new owners of some of the early properties, with rumours abound that only those with substantial incomes would be offered accommodation. Property prices in 1837 had a 5-7-bedroom villa on Forest Avenue or Crescent Road for rent at £50-80 a year!
“ The service provided by the entire team at Butler and Stag is fantastic. From purchasing a plot, to the sale of the properties was run fantastically. Very professional outfit and a pleasure to work with. We certainly will be using Butler and Stag again in the near future. ” Matthew Hammond
