Ainslie Wood was once known as Endsleigh Wood. It is an L-shaped piece of ancient woodland and became separated from the nearby Larks Wood early in the 20th century. It is now surrounded by houses and a recreation ground. The wood is locally famed for its show of bluebells, to such a degree that many people actually call it Bluebell Wood. A small pond was created in the 1980s. Ainslie Wood is owned by Waltham Forest Council and managed by the Council and the Friends of Ainslie and Larks Woods. This is just inside the western entrance to the wood from Royston Avenue.
