Prime Location Enfield Area Guide

Enfield is situated on the edge of north London and is bordered by the Hertfordshire countryside. Once a small country town, Enfield has held a market three times a week on the square in front of St Andrew’s Church since it was first granted a charter in 1303. The Royal Small Arms Factory located at Enfield Lock on the River Lea was built following the Napoleonic wars but was eventually closed in 1988, with its historic buildings later redeveloped into residential dwellings.

Offering convenient access to the City and West End, the town is popular with families seeking more affordable homes than those available in the heart of London. Enfield has a range of period buildings including some fine Georgian houses and historic properties, as well as weather boarded houses and Victorian cottages overlooking or backing on to the New River. The conservation area features Edwardian, 1920s and 1930s architecture along wide roads. Two thirds of Enfield is open space, with over 900 hectares of parks, gardens, farmland and fields. Famous gardens include Myddelton Gardens, Capel Manor College and Forty Hall, a restored early 17th-century house and gardens. There are 16 conservation areas, and the town boasts London’s only agricultural college. The New River Festival, Enfield Carnival and the Autumn Show are just some of the annual events hosted by the town.

There are 300,000 people living in Enfield and the population grew by 6.5% between 2001 and 2009. This represents relatively slower growth than that experienced in London (8%).
