Waltham Forest is an outer London borough formed in 1965 from three Essex municipalities and bordered by the River Lea to the west. The William Morris Gallery, Vestry House Museum, and Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge represent the district's cultural and historical significance. Walthamstow Wetlands and the marshes along the former Royal Forest provide natural spaces, while the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre marks the borough's Olympic legacy.
