Sewardstone is a slice of rural England within Greater London.
Living in Sewardstone
Sewardstone lies in the Epping Forest district of the County of Essex, and although it is outside Greater London and looks and feels rural, it still has a London postcode.
Situated due south of Waltham Abbey and the M25, Sewardstone is a mix of scattered hamlets in a patchwork of fields.
King George's Reservoir forms the boundary with the London Borough of Enfield to the west, and dense woodland to the south forms the boundary with the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
The majority of houses and flats for sale in Sewardstone are contemporary, although there are some properties that were built in the 1920s and 30s.
Local amenities are limited to a few shops and pubs, complemented by church fêtes. For serious shopping, it is necessary to head north to Waltham Abbey or to Waltham Cross, or south to Chingford.
Chingford Mount is one of the main shopping centres in the area and offers classic high street chains including Tesco. To keep young children amused there is also a playground.
Sewardstone occupies a beautiful corner of rural Essex and has the feeling of a country village but with all of lifes necessities within a stones throw.
Transport
The nearest railway stations to Sewardstone are in Waltham Cross to the north and in Chingford to the south. Both stations are served by National Express East Anglia trains and offer a direct link to London Liverpool Street.
East of Epping Forest is an underground station in neighbouring Loughton, which is on the Epping branch of the Central Line.
A mile of so north of Sewardstone is access to the M25 at Junction 26.

History and culture
On the banks of the River Lee Canal are four World War II hexagonal pill boxes that were built to defend Britain in case of a German invasion.
To the east of Sewardstone, set in a clearing of Epping Forest, is High Beech Church which was built in 1873. Both the location and the church are breathtakingly beautiful.
The poet, Alfred Tennyson lived in Beech Hill Park between 1837 and 1840 and it was in the enchanting churchyard that he wrote the poem In Memoriam A.H.H..
But Sewardstones most wonderful asset is Epping Forest itself where you can lose yourself amongst the English oaks and beeches and all too easily imagine the days when the notorious highwayman, Dick Turpin, plied his trade.
