Beaumont Road is a housing estate located in Leyton and the largest housing estate in the borough of Waltham Forest.
The Beaumont Road Estate became the final high rise estate (with 20-plus-storey towers) in Leyton.
The estate was built in two stages. Stage 1 consisted of one 20-storey tower called All Saints’ Tower, while an extension to Stage 1 (approved in 1965) consisted of another 20-storey tower called St Paul’s Tower. Stage 2, approved in 1966, consisted of one 20-storey tower called St Catherine’s Tower.
In addition, 23 low rise blocks were also approved in 1966.
The original estate comprised:
- All Saints Tower
- St Catherine’s Tower
- St Paul’s Tower
- St Thomas Court
- St Elizabeth Court
- St Edward’s Court
- St Josephs Court
- St Mathews Court
- St Mark’s Court

Demolition of some of the original Beaumont road housing, including the two towers, began during early 2006 - redeveloped as part of a regeneration programme.
Planned to replace the 40-year-old estate were a series of "squares and neighbourhoods around a central, tree-lined avenue on Beaumont Road, reinstating the road’s pre-war route.".
