About

Oakwood ward sits in the northern part of the London Borough of Enfield, bordering Hertfordshire. The area is primarily residential, characterised by suburban housing developments built largely in the 1930s, alongside more modern estates. Its layout is defined by quiet, tree-lined streets and numerous cul-de-sacs, contributing to a settled, local atmosphere. The ward is well-served by Oakwood Park, a significant green space with sports facilities, and its namesake station on the Piccadilly Line provides a direct transport link into central London.

A notable local landmark is the Trent Park, which extends into the ward from the north, offering extensive woodlands, a golf course, and the historic Trent Park House. The local economy centres on the Oakwood Parade, a small shopping precinct meeting everyday needs. The area's demographic is largely family-oriented, with a mix of long-term residents and newer arrivals. Community life often focuses on the park, local schools, and the annual Oakwood Festival, which draws people from across the borough.
