E Postcode Area: Damp, Mould & Leak Detection by District

The E postcode area

The E postcode area is the Eastern district of the London post town, one of the original London postal districts of the 1850s and numbered in 1917. It covers Tower Hamlets, Newham and Waltham Forest almost entirely, most of Hackney and parts of Redbridge, and runs from Whitechapel and the City fringe out through Bow, Stratford and Leyton to Walthamstow and Chingford, taking in the Docklands and the Olympic Park. Most of the places listed below are in Tower Hamlets, Newham and Hackney.

This is the most varied housing in the capital: Georgian and Victorian terraces in Spitalfields, Bow and Hackney, large council estates of every post-war decade, warehouse conversions and tall new towers in Docklands and Stratford, and inter-war and Edwardian streets in Leyton, Walthamstow and Chingford. Shared risers, flat roofs, balconies and converted upper floors make leak tracing between flats a large part of what we do here.

Each district below links to the places inside it, with the borough page named on the row. The same page is reached whether you search by postcode or by borough.
