A pleasant drive from London to Chigwell is described in chapter 19 of “Barnaby Rudge,” and may be still taken about twelve miles by road, starting from Whitechapel Church _viâ_ Mile-End and Bow, thence crossing the River Lea, and proceeding, in the county of Essex, by way of _Stratford_, _Leytonstone_, _Snaresbrook_, and _Wilcox Green_. But time will be saved by adopting a convenient train, leaving Liverpool Street Station (Great Eastern Railway) for _Buckhurst Hill_—on the Ongar Branch Line—in the neighbourhood of Epping Forest, a district formerly preserved by the old monarchs of Merrie England for the enjoyment of field sports and the pleasures of the chase.
