Local area guide
Skip hire in Enfield
Enfield is a town and borough in north London, sitting around ten miles from Charing Cross at the capital's northern edge, with a borough population of around 330,000. It was a market town in Middlesex from the thirteenth century, set beside Enfield Chase — a vast royal hunting ground of several thousand acres where Tudor monarchs hunted, and which was not finally enclosed until 1777. Elizabeth I spent part of her childhood at Elsyng Palace in what is now Forty Hall Estate, where the palace's foundations have been excavated.
Enfield's name carries unusual industrial weight. The Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield Lock, established in 1816, produced British military rifles for over 170 years — the Lee-Enfield, standard issue through both world wars, took its name directly from the site, as did the Enfield revolver and the Bren gun made there. The factory closed in 1988 and its site is now the Enfield Island Village housing development, with the listed machine shop preserved.
The borough also has a claim on modern banking. The world's first cash machine was installed by Barclays on Enfield Town's High Street in June 1967, with the actor Reg Varney making the first withdrawal — a plaque marks the spot. Enfield's other assets are green: the borough is one of the leafiest in London, with Trent Park, Forty Hall, Whitewebbs and a long stretch of Green Belt countryside running up to the Hertfordshire border, along with the Lee Valley Regional Park and its reservoirs along the eastern boundary.
Enfield is well connected, with Enfield Town, Enfield Chase and Southbury stations giving services into Liverpool Street and Moorgate, the Piccadilly line serving Oakwood, Southgate and Cockfosters — Charles Holden's Southgate station is a listed modernist landmark — and the A10, A406 and M25 crossing the borough. Neighbouring areas include Edmonton, Palmers Green, Southgate, Winchmore Hill, Ponders End and Cheshunt over the border.
Housing across Enfield spans a wide range, from substantial Edwardian and interwar houses in Winchmore Hill, Grange Park and Southgate — among the more expensive in north London — to Victorian terraces in Edmonton and Ponders End, extensive interwar semis across Enfield Highway and Bush Hill Park, large post-war estates at Edmonton, and significant new development at Meridian Water, a major regeneration scheme in the Lee Valley delivering thousands of homes. The borough contains both some of London's most affluent suburbs and some of its most deprived wards, a contrast that shapes much of its housing policy.
