Area Guide
Forest Gate
Period streets and a village feel on the Elizabeth line.
Our take
What we tell clients about Forest Gate
Forest Gate quietly transformed once the Elizabeth line arrived. But its appeal was always there: handsome Victorian streets, Wanstead Flats on the doorstep and a genuinely neighbourly high street around Woodgrange Road.
We recommend it to buyers priced out of Stratford's new-builds who want period character without giving up the fast commute.
