Enfield Town, also known as Enfield, is the historic centre of the London Borough of Enfield. It is 10.1 miles (16.3 km) north-northeast of central London. The area is identified in the London Plan as one of 35 major centres in Greater London. The town was originally in the county of Middlesex, but became part of Greater London on 1 April 1965 when the London Government Act 1963 was commenced. Enfield Town had a population of 115,762 in 2011.
Plans to build nearly 1,000 new homes at the former Alma Estate in Enfield have been given the go ahead. Enfield Council has approved Countrysideâs proposals to regenerate the post-war housing estate by building 993 new homes along with shops, a gym, medical centre and community facilities. The project is the boroughâs largest housing estate renewal scheme and it will act as a catalyst for the wider regeneration of the Ponders End area.
