Waltham Forest is a diverse North East London borough covering Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone, and Chingford. With a population of over 280,000, the borough has grown in popularity in recent years, particularly Walthamstow, which has attracted young families and professionals drawn by its village feel and good transport links.

The borough has a solid network of dental practices, with the strongest concentration around Walthamstow and Leyton. Its outer London location means NHS availability tends to be better than in neighbouring inner London boroughs like Hackney.
