If you want to find out David Beckham's relationship to Chingford, when Leyton Orient changed from being called Clapton Orient, that the Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge was in fact built by Henry VIII and what is the history of the building where you live or work, why not visit the Local Studies Library, based at Vestry House.

The Local Studies Library houses a collection of books, pamphlets, periodicals, official publications, printed ephemera, newspapers and maps relating to the history of the geographical area now situated within the boundaries of the London Borough of Waltham Forest.

To view any of this material an appointment must be made.
