New Southgate & Arnos Grove

New Southgate and Arnos Grove sit in the south-west corner of the London Borough of Enfield, crossed by the Piccadilly line at Arnos Grove station. The station’s circular ticket hall, one of Charles Holden’s 1930s designs, marks the area and is a listed building. New Southgate has its own National Rail station and sits close to the A406 North Circular, which shapes local movement and commuter patterns. The streets mix 1930s housing, later terraces and small commercial parades that serve day-to-day needs.

Green space defines much of the local layout. Arnos Park follows a valley where Pymmes Brook runs through the trees and under footbridges; the brook offers a visible watercourse within the borough’s parkland. Community facilities include schools, local shops and sporting clubs clustered around the parks and tube station, and there are allotments and pocket greens tucked into residential streets. The neighbourhood’s transport links and parkland make it a place where daily life often moves between rail links and short walks along the brook.
