I was born in 1951 at the Maycroft Nursing Home, Woodford Road, Wanstead, Essex. If you look it up on the web, you will find that Harry Roberts, who was jailed for the murder of 2 policemen at Braybrook Street, Shepherds Bush, was also born there. His parents were the landlord and lady of the George Hotel, Wanstead. (I went to Wanstead High School, just down the road in Redbridge Lane West. A famous alumni of my old school is Ronnie O'Sullivan, the snooker player,who's father did time for murder.)
Nice place, Wanstead. Very quiet.
