Leyton Hookups: Leyton Women Want to Meet

Say it right, then hook up in Leyton

Say it LAY-tən and nobody will take you for a tourist. Leyton sits 6.2 miles north-east of Charing Cross in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, and most of it is long terraces built between 1870 and 1910, with the odd modern estate tucked in among them. Its edges are easy to picture:

• Walthamstow to the north
• Leytonstone to the east
• Stratford to the south
• The River Lea to the west

Over the Lea are Clapton, Homerton and Hackney Wick. Leyton started out as an Essex parish, also known as Low Leyton, and stayed largely rural until a wave of building in the late 19th century folded it into London. These days it holds New Spitalfields Market, Leyton Orient and a slice of the Olympic Park. Terraced streets put neighbours close together, which is handy for a quick hookup and a good reason for discretion: on the site you're a username with Leyton as your nearest town, while your real name, email and address stay off your profile.

Your first drink, a stop or two from Leyton

With so much of Leyton given over to homes, it can pay to meet a little way off. Hackney is under two miles away, and Walthamstow and West Ham are each a little over two. That's near enough that getting home is easy whichever way the evening goes.

Pick somewhere public and lively for the first meeting, tell a friend where you'll be, and keep your own way back. If someone makes you uneasy, block them and they can't contact you again, or report the profile from inside the site. Our hookup safety tips cover the rest.
