Location: Pole Hill, Chingford
Description: Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence, or Lawrence of Arabia, was a famous writer, scholar and soldier. He owned 18 acres of land here until he gave it to the council to protect. He frequently camped here with his friend Vyvyan Richards, a teacher at Bancroft's School who lived in a hut here called Cloisters.
Together they planned to build a house on the site and print fine books.
He died in 1935 aged just 46 in a motorcycle accident in Dorset.
