Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Leyton, London

The location is fine, 7 min to tube, but the room is just above the kitchen. So if someone cooks you can smell the kitchen fumes. Which is happen every day.

Relatively nice area with a large Tesco, a post office and a good range of shops. Quite quiet overall. There aren't any good local pubs, which could be a downside. The massive drawback is the lack of public transport links - it's a bus ride or a long walk to both the nearest tube stations. It's not a particularly green area in general, although there is a tiny park a few streets away and a bigger one about 20 minutes walk away. The street itself was quiet and mostly filled with families. There is on street permit parking available, although it was always very busy. We were by far the worst, most run down building on the street. The flat is part of a terraced house and the downstairs flat seems to be short term let rooms rather than a flat itself. The people downstairs were often extremely noisy and because it seemed to be a short term place there were new people coming in and out of the building all the time. We sometimes had issues with post going missing/being thrown away.
