Sightseeing
Amazingly, London 2012 left us with an Olypmic legacy to be enjoyed! Well worth having a wander around - besides the stadiums, there're outdoor cycle tracks (road and mountain bike), extensive walking/running routes, a climbing centre, and a café.

Walthamstow Village can trace its origins back to the Domesday book. The remaining ancient buildings include St. Mary's Church (12th century) and the Ancient House (15th century). Well worth having a look, and then enjoying a coffee or meal in any of the many options along pedestrianised Orford Road.
