Travel and things to do and see in and around Leytonstone There is fast & easy access to Central London (30 mins) via Liverpool Street main line station, West End theatres & all the major tourist attractions.

The major transport hub of Stratford (Central, Jubilee & Elizabeth Lines, DLR, mainline trains, and the Mildmay Line to Richmond, Kew and Clapham) is just 2 stops away. Here you will find Westfield Shopping Centre, Victoria & Albert Museum East (V&A East) and the new Sadler’s Wells East theatre and dance venue.

Heathrow is only an hour away via the Elizabeth Line from Stratford and City Airport is 30mins via the DLR. There is a frequent shuttle coach service between Stansted Airport and Stratford which takes under an hour.

If the hustle and bustle of London are not what you are looking for, Leytonstone has a vibrant café culture, many independent shops & restaurants and 4 pubs with live music and food. Back to Ours is a recent community-led café & arts venue & there’s an environmental Refill Shop offering Sunday lunches. With the local residents’ card there are discounts to be had.

There are plenty of places for simply walking (or jogging) The open space of Wanstead Flats, Bush Wood start at the end of the road, while historic Wanstead Park and Epping Forest are nearby. There is a very popular 5k ParkRun each Saturday, and a PureGym right on the high street.

I’m generally around the house or local area should you need anything or want tips on what to do and see in and around London. There are no pets to worry you.

Lastly, why Hitchcock Retreat? The famous film director Alfred Hitchcock was born in Leytonstone in 1899. You’ll find tasteful nods to his films in the few pictures and posters in your rooms, as well as a couple of biographies and novels that inspired his films. You might eat in the Hitchcock Hotel or down a pint in The Birds Pub, stream one of his films, or make a pilgrimage to his birthplace.
