About

Waltham Cross forms a central hub within the Broxbourne borough, characterised by its busy transport links and retail concentration. The area is dominated by the large retail park and the pedestrianised high street, which serve as primary commercial centres for local shopping needs. Residential streets, featuring a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to modern developments, extend outwards from this core.

A key landmark is the Eleanor Cross monument, a preserved medieval structure from the 1290s that stands at a major road junction. The area's layout is heavily defined by the A10 and A121 roads, which channel significant traffic through its centre. Open space is provided by the Lee Valley Park, which borders the western edge along the River Lea, offering pathways and recreational grounds.
