Enfield is London’s northernmost borough and one of the few named after a place that was a market town long before the council existed. Enfield Town is still at the middle of it, with Bush Hill Park and Enfield Highway around it, Southgate, Winchmore Hill, Palmers Green, Oakwood and Cockfosters to the south west, and Edmonton, Ponders End and Freezywater running down the eastern side towards the Lea Valley.

Enfield Today reports what the borough’s own record shows across all of that. Planning applications, licensing notices, committee decisions, crime figures, sold prices. The council publishes them; almost nobody has time to read them. We read them and write them up plainly, with a link to the original on every fact.

What is on this site

Every one of them is built from the borough’s own record, from Cockfosters to the Lea, with a link to the source on every figure.

If we cannot point you at the document, we do not print the figure.
