Epping Forest, a surprisingly wild and wonderful frontier on the eastern edge of London, has managed to protect its rural status despite increasing development pressure to build more homes to cope with the capital’s bulging population.

Epping has a weekly market and the town’s 18th-century high street boasts some prized listed buildings.
