Enfield, EN1

Enfield Town is a town in the London Borough of Enfield. It is 10.1 miles (16.2 km) north north-east of Charing Cross.

Historically Enfield was a collection of small communities spread around the royal hunting grounds of Enfield Chase. At the time of the Domesday Book the area was spelt 'Enefelde', and had a priest who almost certainly resided in St. Andrews Church. By 1572 most of the basic street layout had been completed. The village green later became the historic marketplace where the fountain now stands.

Much of the economic activity of Enfield currently centres around the A10 road which has a wealth of retail facilities (of the shed type) and a very large multiplex cinema, built on the site of the old baths, which draws film goers from miles around.

A disused section of the New River runs through the centre of Enfield Town, where it is called the New River Loop. Water levels are still maintained in it, and it survives as an important local amenity.

To the north western fringes of the Town as it is known to locals, lies the quaint Chase Side village with a collection of specialist shops, restaurants, pubs and bars.

Many sports teams and clubs are located in Enfield; Enfield F.C. and the recently established Enfield Town F.C. are the most prominent. Saracens Rugby Football Club used to play in Enfield and still train at Bramley Road sports ground near Cockfosters.

The principal cricket clubs in the area are Enfield CC, Winchmore Hill CC, North Enfield CC, and Holtwhites Trinibus CC, with many others playing cricket in and around the borough such as Edmonton, Enfield Invicta and Middleton House. Many clubs play in either the Middlesex Cricket League or the Hertfordshire League.

Swimming clubs (S.C.) include Edmonton Phoenix S.C., Enfield S.C. and Griffins S.C. of Enfield.
