Leytonstone Area Guide - What makes Leytonstone so great?
location
Leytonstone is an area of east London and part of the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
It borders Walthamstow to the northwest, Wanstead (in the London Borough of Redbridge) to the north, Leyton to the south, and Forest Gate (in the London Borough of Newham) to the east.
The main thoroughfare in Leytonstone, High Road Leytonstone, which runs the length of Leytonstone to Stratford is an ancient pathway dating to pre-Roman times.
The name Leytonstone — in early documents Leyton-Atte-Stone — may derive from the large stone standing at the junction of Hollybush Hill and New Wanstead; in the 18th-century an obelisk was mounted on top of it, and it has been claimed that it is the remains of a Roman milestone.
Leytonstone tube station is on the Central Line of the London Underground and Leytonstone High Road is a London Overground railway station.

Although it’s no longer a branch of Rasa, Mudra has maintained that estimable London-based Keralite mini-chain’s commitment to dishes that transcend those of high-street curry houses.
It’s never a bad idea to tuck into the crunchy pre-meal snacks (including achappam and murukku) and half a dozen own-made pickles and chutneys while considering the menu.
Here, populist concessions have begun to appear (vindaloos, chicken jalfrezi, prawn bhuna), but the emphasis remains on the likes of swaad erachi olathiyathu (a dry curry of stir-fried turmeric-marinated lamb with coconut) or kottayam fish moilee (a whole fish prepared with onion, tomato, ginger, green chilli and coconut milk), accompanied by a wide range of breads (not just dosa, chapati and paratha, but appam and poori).
We’d recommend ironing out some vagaries of service – black-clad and unfailingly friendly though it is – and freshening the decor, which achieves the curious balancing act of being both energetically pink and a bit tired, rather than dumbing down the menu.
Should it close, the elegantly spiced, enticingly priced curries will be sorely missed.
