The residents of Alexandra Road and Burton Road in South Woodford held a street party on 5 May to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Over 120 neighbours of all ages gathered together for a day of feasting and traditional activities.
“The young ones liked playing football in the closed road. Many enjoyed the egg and spoon and three-legged races. The tug of war was popular as was the pass the parcel, with actions in each layer. Several intrepid folk offered to be targets in the stocks and then rushed home to get out of wet clothes. The conga went round local streets and through GAKs corner shop! Another successful event for our community. The new residents were amazed!” said Geraldine Maclaine MBE.
