About

Enfield sits in north London as the principal town of the London Borough of Enfield. The town centre follows Church Street and Market Square, anchored by the Palace Gardens shopping centre and a long-running market. The New River runs through the area and is routed alongside footpaths and canalside green space; stretches of the New River Walk are visible close to Enfield Town station and the town’s retail core. Local high streets, community centres and small business corridors give the area its day-to-day pattern of activity.

Open spaces include Forty Hall Estate with its 17th-century house and parkland, and Myddelton House Gardens at Bulls Cross, where the gardens and nursery reflect a long horticultural interest. To the east, Enfield Lock occupies the site of the former Royal Small Arms Factory, now a residential quarter arranged around surviving industrial buildings. Rail services at Enfield Town, Enfield Chase and Enfield Lock, together with multiple bus routes, provide regular connections into other parts of north and central London.
