Barkingside: an East London suburb full of historical gems
Set in Ilford in East London, Barkingside is best known as the home of Barnardo's, the children's charity. The Victorian Girl's Village was built here in the 19th century and closed down in 1991, but some remnants of the village still remain.
Escape to the country at Fairlop Waters
Why head out of London when there's acres of countryside on your doorstep? Fairlop Waters is based around a 38-acre lake where you can sail, canoe or windsurf across the water.
Enjoy the buzz in Stratford
Half an hour's train ride from Barkingside, Stratford is home to Westfield Stratford City, one half of the famous shopping centre. You'll also find Britain's tallest sculpture here: the 80-metre-high ArcelorMittal Orbit also doubles up as a huge slide.
