Woodford Green, a leafy suburban area of north-east London, belongs to the larger settlement of Woodford, located on the edge of Epping Forest at the borders with Essex. This is a highly sought-after commuter district edging into the green belt, with hundreds of acres of woodland, open spaces and parks. Woodford Green upholds a delightful sense of tradition: much of it is a Conservation Area, and there are regular cricket matches on the green. Here, a bronze statue of Sir Winston Churchill commemorates his links with the district. Churchill, the local MP for forty years, was a famous visitor to nearby Hurst House, a beautiful home built in 1714. Clement Attlee, prime minister after World War II, once lived in Woodford Green, as did suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst. Visitors may enjoy a range of open-air activities including riding, fishing, tennis, forest walks, and golf at Woodford Golf Club, which has a very attractive nine-hole course, while sightseers are close to some top attractions. A mile away, in Chingford, is Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge - a timber-framed listed building built in 1543. And it's only a couple of miles from Woodford Green to Connaught Water, a beautiful 10-acre lake in Epping Forest.
