"Dating back to 1135 and originally known as 'Bucket Hill', Buckhurst Hill has come a long way since it was just a bump in the countryside. Local Langford hunting lodge became a favoured retreat of Henry VIII, where he would meet up with Anne Boleyn.

That didn't end well and these days royalty are mostly further south, although two tube stations serve the area, with direct Central line connections to the City and West End. Nonetheless, the Village Feel very much remains, with regular community events such as the annual Christmas Fair.

Queens Road has long served as the area's high street, once upon a time hosting street fairs, and now packed with shops, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets.

Favourite local watering holes including The Three Colts, while the area's many dining destinations include the Soiree Turkish Restaurant, Tandoor at the Chambers, Green Owl Café and The Queen's Rooms Steakhouse & Grill. Be sure to sample the latter's Sunday Roast.

Despite the speedy City connections there's no shortage of greenery. London's lungs of Epping Forest run through the area, while Knighton Wood and Connaught Water both provide green and blue retreats respectively.

For parents, Loyola Prep School (for boys), Braeside School, Trinity Catholic High School and the well regarded towers of Bancrofts Private School all offer a fine range of educational options."
