Chigwell station, 1984. View eastward, towards Fairlop, Hainault and Leytonstone (formerly to Ilford) on the Woodford - Hainault section of the London Underground Central Line, formerly the ex-GER Woodford - Fairlop - Ilford loop line. It was taken over from BR(ER) (ex-LNER, ex-GER) by the LPTB from 21/11/48: the station remains typical GER and the 'Tube' trains, from miles away at West Ruislip or Ealing Broadway, still seem out of place

Housekeeping was good as expected, but our shower had a leak, so water was spraying outside the shower radius. Also had no control of ac so room was cold even with the plug in heater. Did not meet my expectations.

Pool was freezing ruined my daughters birthday trip staff did not seem to care and stood around talking in the spa area after being told we could'nt use the pool as it was too busy but when we got through there were 2 people in it! No doubt because the pool was so cold.

A phenomenal stay! So peaceful, which is amazing because there is active construction work going on outside.
