London is a huge place and it would not be an exaggeration to say that one is going to need a lifetime to explore everything that the capital has to offer to them. That is why it is always a good idea to have a clear idea what the separate areas around the metropolis have to offer to them. Here we have focused our attention to the London Borough of Enfield which occupies the northernmost territories of Greater London. Most of the neighbourhoods here are purely residential in character, but that does not mean that you cannot find interesting places throughout that are going to captivate your attention.
A village green to spend an afternoon in
In addition to some pretty eco-friendly junk removal Winchmore Hill policies, the local council is particularly proud of the village green here. It is a great place for picnics, but it is also pretty notable for the fact that around it some of the finest shops and restaurants in the area are to be found. Winchmore Hill’s very own millionaire’s row is also to be found very near the village green – on the Broad Walk road.
If you are planning your very own Harry Potter London Tour
The district of Palmers Green N13 is well known for being one of the best places to live in North London. The neighbourhood is also notable for having been used throughout the filming of the “Knight Bus” sequence in the film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which is among the main reasons Palmers Green is frequently visited by tourists even though it is relatively far away from Central London – thus there is no logical reason for it to be popular with potential visitors to the capital.
The cricket capital of North London
For years now the EN2 postal district in Enfield was voted among the most eco-friendly places in North London, and to a large extent it is because of the excellent junk removal services in Botany Bay that you can choose from. What few people know about however is that Botany Bay has a long-standing tradition in the sport of Cricket as well. This small village located very near the border of Greater London is home to a 117-year old club – Botany Bay Cricket Club, housed in East Lodge Lane and shares its facilities with Botany Bay Petanque Club, Cuffley Rugby Club and others.
The borough Centre
Enfield Town EN1, EN2 is the main settlement in the borough we are discussing here. The sheer number of landmarks here makes it a must-go place for anyone visiting Enfield. Make sure to check out at least:
- Enfield Palace grounds – what remains of the 17th century stately home
- The New River, built as means for water-supply to London from Hertfordshire
- The former home of Joseph Whitaker – The White House in Silver Street, now a doctor’s surgery
- The 1849 Enfield Town railway station
The peace of a small hamlet in the big city
London’s metropolitan area is known for its towering urban landscapes, busy streets and generally imposing buildings. There are however many small villages and hamlets scattered across the territory of the capital, and one of the finest among those is Bulls Cross. Here you will find everything needed for a comfortable life – from handy transport links to a centuries old pub to historical attractions such as the Myddelton House and of course diligent junk removal Bulls Cross services up to all industry standards.
The place where all the stars live
The last neighbourhood of Enfield that we would like to bring your attention to is famous for being among the finest residential areas in the borough.

- Cheryl and Ashley Cole
