Family-friendly

Larkswood is the area between Highams Park and Chingford, named after the woodland that borders it. Mainly 1930s suburban housing with some post-war additions. The woods and playing fields give it a green feel. It is quiet, residential, and popular with families who want to be near the forest without Chingford prices.
