\"Chingford<\/p>\n

Originally the whole parish of Chingford lay within the ancient Forest of Essex. Spread over three forest hamlets, it was a scattered farming community. Today Chingford is a suburb of London on the London\/Essex border that sits on the edge of Epping Forest.<\/p>\n

The Chingford Green conservation area includes a variety of interesting buildings showing Chingford\u2019s development over two hundred years from a small rural community to a suburb of modern London. There are also a number of listed buildings on the edge of Epping Forrest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
