Nearby, The Nag’s Head is a feline friendly inn (check out the cat silhouettes in the windows) that specialises in pizzas, good beer and often has special events like jazz Sundays – note that it is also an adult’s only pub so no families are allowed in.

Check out "Eat 17" especially for their incredible Sunday roasts – I’ve spent a few Sundays in Walthamstow Village where I’ve been to lunch (make sure you book in advance) then head over for some live music (usually jazz) at the Nag’s Head.

The Kitchen, offering light bites and full meals throughout the day – like Eat 17, they also concoct cracking Sunday Roasts, which they are rightfully proud of.

Froth & Rind is basically the average person's dream – an artisan cafe that specialises in combining craft beers with cheeses from all over the world – yes ‘beer and cheese’!

Sightseeing
St Mary’s Church and The Ancient House
We’ve coupled these as they are right next to each other and combine to become a picture perfect postcard setting, complete with a traditional red post box. The 15th century timbered Ancient House looks the part (it was restored in 1934 and then again in 2002) but isn’t open to the public as it is now private dwellings – it is also worth noting there are almshouses nearby dating from the 16th century, and the Vestry House – a historic museum dedicated to the heritage of the local area.
St Mary’s Church in Walthamstow was founded in the 12th century (although has been rebuilt several times) – you can walk through the graveyard to access Walthamstow Village gateway and it has a regular events programme, including taking part in festivals such as the annual Walthamstow Jazz Festival.

Not strictly in the village as such, but a two minute walk away from the property, will lead you to something truly unique (and it is very rare to say that in London these days). It is fair to say God’s Own Junkyard is like no other – a cacophony of colour and explosion of neon, like something deemed too uber cool for Bladerunner. Europe’s oldest signmakers, this wacky warehouse in Walthamstow is packed to the rafters with neon lights, vintage signs and hypnotic, hedonistic installations.
God’s Own Junkyard is open to the public at weekends and is one of the best free attractions in London (although donations are appreciated) – there is also a cafe inside and many of the naughty neon items are available to purchase
