Why is it called Snaresbrook?
Central
Where the name comes from
Named after the area. The name is a corruption of "Sayers brook", a tributary of the River Roding.
Worth knowing: The station has been renamed four times, variously adding and dropping Wanstead, before returning to plain Snaresbrook in 1947.
