About

Southbury ward sits in the northern part of the London Borough of Enfield.

Its main commercial focus is along Southbury Road, which provides local shops and services for the community. The ward is well-connected by public transport, centred around Southbury railway station on the London Overground network.

A significant green space is the historic Town Park, located just to the west, offering recreational space. The local economy is supported by several light industrial and business units situated near the railway lines. The area has a community-focused atmosphere, with local institutions like St. Mary Magdalene's Church serving as a longstanding landmark. The presence of the New River, an artificial waterway, winds through the southern edge of the ward.
