Probably the most important thing about Leytonstone for the Tube traveller is that it is the final station on the [[Central Line]] before is splits up into its two branches.

The station
is in a tunnel underneath the track itself. This means that there are two exits: one to Church Lane which leads to Leytonstone High Road the shops, library, church, and so on, and the other to [[Fairlop Road]] and [[Grove Green Road]] and the more residential "Upper Leytonstone". Each side has its own bus stops, so choose carefully!
