Welcome to Crooked Billet

Crooked Billet is a small area located in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. It is situated between Walthamstow and Leyton, and it is known for its rich history and cultural significance. The area is named after a pub that was built in the 17th century, which still stands today. The pub has been a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, and it has become a symbol of the area's heritage.

Crooked Billet is also home to a number of green spaces, including the Leyton Jubilee Park and the Marsh Lane Playing Fields. These areas provide residents with a place to relax and enjoy the outdoors, and they are often used for community events and activities. The Leyton Jubilee Park is particularly popular, as it features a large playground, a skate park, and a basketball court.

In recent years, Crooked Billet has undergone significant redevelopment, with new housing and commercial developments being built in the area. This has brought new life to the area, and it has become a popular destination for young professionals and families. Despite these changes, however, Crooked Billet has managed to maintain its unique character and charm, and it remains a beloved part of Greater London.
