About

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.
