Living in Edmonton
Multi-cultural and bustling, Edmonton lies within the London Borough of Enfield and offers a good choice of reasonably priced houses and flats, including classic Victorian and Edwardian villas, 1930s semis, and new-build.
Probably the finest row of houses in Edmonton is on Hertford Road in a small area called The Crescent. Built around 1826, the terrace of 25 Regency houses had mostly been divided into flats by the end of Queen Victorias reign.
Edmonton has two principal regions: Upper Edmonton to the south and Lower Edmonton to the north, complemented by Edmonton Green, which sits between the two.
The main shopping centre is in Edmonton Green where you will find the usual high street shops, banks and building societies, and an IKEA store. The area is currently being regenerated with the help of £100 million.
Edmonton offers many facilities including Lee Valley Leisure Complex which is adjacent to William Girling Reservoir. Within the Complex is an 18-hole golf course, 12-screen cinema and a great variety of restaurants.
North-west of Edmonton, and no more than 15 minutes by car, is the vast green swathe of Trent Country Park, which also offers a golf course plus cycle paths, pets' corner, café, fishing lakes and picnic areas.
Transport
There are direct trains running to Liverpool Street from stations in Edmonton Green and Silver Street, courtesy of National Express East Anglia.
Angel Road station lies to the east of Edmonton on Meridian Way and provides services to Liverpool Street and to Stratford, where you can change for the Central Line and Docklands Light Railway.
By car, Edmonton is adjacent to the A10 Great Cambridge Road and the A406 North Circular Road.

History and culture
The capital of Alberta, Canada, was named after Edmonton, London, which was once home to many household names, including Ever Ready Batteries.
Apart from All Saints Church, Salisbury House is the oldest building in Edmonton. Built in the late 16th century, the Grade II listed building is located in Bury Street West, Lower Edmonton, and is owned by Edmonton council.
Edmonton Central Library opened in 1897 thanks to financial support from the John Passmore Edwards foundation. The library closed in 1991 and today the Grade II listed building is a religious and community centre.
Millfield House was built in the late 18th century and was a workhouse school, hospital and a refugee centre before closing in 1971. In 1979 the house re-opened as an arts centre encompassing the Millfield Theatre and Weir Hall Library.
