Now you're really making me homesick. I've wasted many an evening in Wanstead taverns. |
|
Another curiousity is that the Wanstead station stands on the site of a house where William Penn (yes, that one) lived. Also, the house and grounds that were what Wanstead Park was all about ...<snip> dg writes: Hang on, that's next!! |

This is great to read - I love Wanstead (and some bits of Woodford, too), and agree that the only reason they aren't better known by Londoners is because it is east, not north, London. |

Those art deco flats are worth the trip, fantastic |
|
I once bought a hamster toilet in the pet shop you mentioned. As I left the owner came running out and shouted "we do hamster bidets too!" Nice tapas in Wanstead too at El Toro Loco. |

What on earth were the "several million pounds" worth of "security devices" installed during construction of the A12. (Tree with a Post Code)??? There is some fascinating footage here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a...h? v=a3PYKzHrQXU from 1994 of a bit of Redbridge now buried under the A12. |

I remember when the tree people laid siege to the old oak tree when the road was being built. I know it was only a tree but it's a shame it had to go. |
|
Actually SSS, as a local resident I can tell you that a tree was a fair price to pay, to return the area to the people. Previously, the chaotic traffic was choking the life out of Wanstead. |

Wanstead is a favourite jaunt on the 308 bus. It used to be an even more interesting journey when it called in at the now vanished Clays Lane estate in the Olympic zone. The demolition of the tower blocks is recorded here http://ca.myspace.com/index.cfm? ...ideoid=30992534 |
