Exploring Chingford's history from forest village to London suburb on this Guided Walk led by a long-time resident, we will meet an unexpected cast of characters who have made their mark on the area including T E Lawrence, Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria and the creator of the FA Cup and hear about a family whose actions  dramatically improved the lives of Chingford residents, the World War One Aerodrome now underneath a reservoir and Ivor Novello’s connection with the airfield and the pub nearby before finishing at a 19th Century refreshment retreat on the edge of Epping Forest but only a 10 minute downhill walk back to the station. There are two pubs close to the finish too.
