Sellers commentsWe are moving because we are relocating but we are sad to be leaving our lovely flat in Upper Leytonstone. We've been happy here for 18 years far longer than the 3-4 years we had planned.
While we're excited about what's next, we'll definitely miss our friends and neighbours, having the forest almost on the door step, seeing the seasons change around on walks around Hollow Ponds and coming home to enjoy watching the birds on the bird feeder.
We'll also miss being so close to the Olympic Park and the convenience of jumping on the Central Line and being in Town within half an hour.
