For such a small area, Fullwell Cross is spoilt for architectural and cultural history. Its 1960s-built library by renowned architect Frederick Gibberd is one of his most celebrated works. The New Fairlop Oak pub and the oak tree which stands in front of it at Fullwell Cross roundabout mark the famous oak tree which stood nearby. It was one of the largest oak trees in Britain and stood for several hundred years until 1820, by which time it was heavily decaying. The great oak was well known enough for Queen Anne to pay a visit and it was the location of Daniel Day's Fairlop Fair from the early 1700s.
