The impressive Chingford Odeon cinema, an original Oscar Deutsch building designed by Andrew Mather and opened in September 1935, was demolished in 1972 to make way for a supermarket.

North of the shopping area and opposite the Old Church is Chingford Mount Cemetery.

Opened in May 1884, 411⁄2 acres in size, it was laid out on the site of the house and grounds of Caroline Mount.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Prince Albert Inn was built at the crossroads.

Though cottages and houses were later built along Old Church Hill, shops only began to appear once the tramway was extended to the Albert Corner in 1904.
