At the Heart of Chingford: Our Community

At Vickery & Utteridge, we aren’t just your local opticians; we are proud members of the vibrant North Chingford community. Located on Station Road, we’ve watched this area grow and evolve while maintaining its unique charm.

Chingford is more than just a postcode. It’s a place where heritage meets modern living:

• The Gateway to Epping Forest: We are just a stone's throw from the ancient 6,000-acre woodland. Whether you're heading for a walk around Connaught Water or visiting Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge, we love being the "last stop" for style and eye health before you hit the trails.
• A Historic High Street: Station Road is the lifeblood of our town. Since the railway arrived in 1873, this street has been home to independent spirit. We are proud to sit alongside fellow local businesses that value personal service over "big-box" retail.
• The Best Views in London: From the top of Pole Hill, you can see the entire London skyline. We make it our mission to ensure your vision is clear enough to enjoy every inch of it!

Because we are lucky enough to have Epping Forest on our doorstep, we believe in giving back to the environment. Through our partnership with (more:trees), we plant a tree for every 5-star review we receive. It’s our way of ensuring that while we look after your vision today, we’re also looking after the "green lungs" for tomorrow.

Whether you’re a lifelong resident or just visiting for a forest walk, pop in to say hello. We’re here to help the people of Chingford see the beauty of our area more clearly.
