Aldersbrook Estate, Edwardian housing estate in Wanstead, England.
Aldersbrook Estate is a residential neighbourhood in Wanstead containing over one thousand houses built between 1899 and 1910. The houses include detached, semi-detached, and terraced types spread across a substantial area.
The land was formerly known as Nakedhall Manor and was acquired by the Corporation of London in the late 18th century. Residential development began at the end of the 19th century and shaped the area that exists today.
St Gabriel's Church, designed by Charles Spooner and finished in 1914, anchors the heart of the neighbourhood. It remains a gathering place where locals and visitors connect with the community that has grown around it.
The neighbourhood spans two postcode areas and has schools and a library on Park Road for visitors to use. The area is easy to walk around and well-connected by public transport.
The neighbourhood borders Wanstead Park, Wanstead Flats, and Bush Wood, offering residents and visitors easy access to green spaces. This proximity to open areas and the City of London Cemetery creates pockets of calm within the residential setting.
