Official Guide to Enfield

Bringing together the best of both worlds

Enfield is based in north London and is one of London's largest boroughs, being home to nearly 300,000 people.

Yet two thirds of Enfield is open spaces or designated green belt land with a wealth of country and urban parks, farmland and fields.

Enfield has a proud and distinguished history, being home to a Royal palace, several country houses, ancient monuments and a host of famous people, past and present.

Enfield continues to be a thriving place to live, work, study and do business supported by a four star local Council, and offers visitors a range of activities. In addition to the borough's 16 conservation areas and 900 hectares of parks and open spaces, there are over 400 listed buildings, seven shopping areas, three golf clubs, London's only agricultural college, cinemas, theatres and museums as well as excellent transport links both into central London and out to the home counties. With a diverse community, including the largest Cypriot community outside of Cyprus, everyone feels at home in Enfield.

This booklet gives both visitors and residents a summary of the history and culture of the borough as well as highlighting the wide range of activities on offer. Whatever you choose to do, we hope you have a rewarding time and come back again soon.
