Enfield Town — is it a good place to live?

Enfield Town offers streets that measure quieter than the capital's average — the trade-off is the independent scene, which runs thinner here than across the city.

Overall: mid-table for London on the six things we score

Every band is relative to other London areas — a high band means quieter or greener than most of London, not quiet or green in absolute terms. How we score.

Trade-offs

There is a further trade-off: green space, where the walk to a sizeable park runs a little longer than is typical for London — a real difference, but a modest one.

The nearest station is Enfield Town (London Overground), a short walk from the area's centre.
