Cockfosters

Cockfosters ward is located in the far south of the London Borough of Enfield, bordering Hertfordshire. The area is primarily residential, characterised by suburban housing and quiet, leafy streets. Its name originates from its historical position as the location of a lodge for the keeper of Enfield Chase. The ward is well-served by the Piccadilly line's terminus station, Cockfosters, providing a direct link to Central London. This transport connection is a defining feature of the local infrastructure.

A significant portion of the ward is occupied by Trent Park, a large public park with woodlands, open spaces, and the former Trent Country Park house. The presence of this extensive green space shapes the area's character. Residential roads often feature large, detached homes from the interwar and post-war periods. Local amenities are concentrated around the station and along Chalk Lane, catering to daily needs within the community.
