Leytonstone is a lively district situated in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, in East London. Known for its mix of urban convenience and green spaces, Leytonstone balances city life with a sense of community and accessibility to nature. Its appeal stems from a distinctive blend of Victorian and Edwardian housing, independent shops, and a diverse local culture. Leytonstone is perhaps most famous as the birthplace of Alfred Hitchcock, a fact celebrated by several local murals and an annual film festival in his honour.
