  1. Former Walthamstow resident here! Just for clarification, the street that was the subject of the mini-Holland, Orford Road, is part of “Walthamstow Village”, the closest thing in town to a hipster neighbourhood. Walthamstow High Street is a different and much more downscale place and has been largely car-free for some years now.
