Enjoy Europe's longest outdoor market
A great spot in the heart of North East London, Walthamstow town centre boasts one of the capital's finest markets in Walthamstow Market.

Measuring in at close to a kilometre long and housing around 500 stalls, it's a great day out and an unmissable opportunity to grab a unique bargain on your trip to London.
Go veggie at an incredible restaurant
Whether you're vegetarian, or just looking for great-tasting food, try out Buhler and Co - one of Walthamstow's newest and best restaurants just a 15-minute walk from the main train station. The varied menu invites you on a worldwide flavour journey, and the coffee is some of the best around. When you fancy a bite to eat, this is just one from a great selection of places to do it.
Celebrate the work of William Morris
In Walthamstow's picturesque Lloyd Park, you'll find a stunning Georgian house built back in the 1740s. Today, it's the William Morris Gallery - the only place in the world dedicated to this master of design. The building itself is as jaw-dropping as the work inside, and between 1848 and 1856 was actually the great man's home. Planning a trip to Walthamstow?
