Dist:0.2km<br/>Despite appearances this building is Victorian, styled in a mock Tudor fashion no doubt to match the genuinely venerable Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge next door. It was intended as a hostelry for visitors to Epping Forest which was first opened to the public in 1882. Today it is part of the Brewers Fayre chain.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Epping Forest is owned and managed by the City of London. Chingford Plain has long been an open part of the forest whose proximity to Chingford town makes it one of the most easily accessible areas. In summer cattle graze on the plain - hence the 'beware cattle' warning.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The hunting lodge was built in 1543 for Henry VIII. It was used for royal hunting expeditions allowing deer on Chingford Plain to be shot using crossbows fired from the upper storeys. In the 1990s the building was restored and covered with a white limewash that protects the timbers from insects and the weather. To the left of the Lodge is the Royal Forest, a pub dating from Victorian times.
