A place I would like to visit in Epping Forest is Hangmans Hill where due to an illusion cars in neutral gear appear to roll uphill.
And yet, somehow this little corner of Essex-in-London-in-Essex manages to be one of the few affordable corners of the capital for private renting, according to this Shelter-produced version of the tube map.
Buckhurst Hill was, at one time, the home of Jim Burns' fledgling electric guitar factory. The first Burns solids were produced in the basement of 131 Queens Road. After a year or so, manufacturing moved to a factory in Cherry Tree Rise, Roding Valley.

The Shadows famously had a new set of guitars made for them by Burns. Other famous users included Elvis. These days Burns guitars are based in East Molesey, so still in the London area.
There's been a Shillibeers bar/ restaurant in North Road N7 for as long as I can remember. I always understood (imagined?) it was in an old bus factory or perhaps depot.

Loving the dress code at Sheesh."No trainers of any type are allowed in the building."

My friend Simon had a friend called Phil who lived in Buckhurst Hill and was always known as Nutty Phil from Buckhurst Hill.
Nice descriptions. Work rate amazing. Some consistency shows up in Chigwell, with how it looked in 2013 on walking the Hainault loop, which you link to.

I used to occasionally deliver to the Waitrose in Buckhurst Hill. Not easy to get a 13 metre trailer down Palmerston Road among the parked cars.

Variious sources, but none definitive, say that Shillbeers was a bus depot in London General days, but not whether it was Shillibeer's own depot. (Also not clear whether it was for horse buses or motor buses, or both)
Looking through your plenty to see link, of the many attractions they list the only one I have been to is the "Secret" nuclear bunker.
They do not list the Hangman Hill phenomenon, maybe because it is free.
I see Google maps shows it as Hangmans Hill gravity spot!
Wouldn't it be good if TfL or one of London's 'bus companies could mark the 150 years since Shillibeer's death by cleaning his headstone?
Somewhere sporting....somehow you missed going to one of the many - yes many, golf courses.
I had no idea that Ongar tube station closed in 1994.

And there was me thinking it was up at the top right of the tube map at the end of the red bits.
