Perched at the end of the Piccadilly Line, the North London suburb of Cockfosters combines leafy streets and parks with a superb mix of services and excellent transport links. As such, it’s hardly surprising that property in Cockfosters is in such high demand among commuters. Straddling the boroughs of Barnet and Enfield, Cockfosters is just 13 miles from central London, yet retains its village feel thanks to its low-density housing and abundant green spaces.
Perhaps the best-known of these spaces is Trent Park, a country house with extensive grounds that once formed part of Henry IV’s hunting grounds. Now open to the public, the park boasts attractive landscaped gardens and plays host to regular concerts throughout the summer months. Adrenaline junkies should be sure to check out the treetop Go Ape adventure park, which is also located within the grounds.
