One of the standout features is its abundance of green spaces and parks, which provide a refreshing contrast to the bustle of nearby London.

It's also home to several sculptures by world-renowned artists, reflecting its ambition to be a town that values creativity and public art. The presence of the Gibberd Garden and the proximity to Epping Forest further enhance its appeal for those who enjoy the outdoors.

Families benefit from a range of schools and local amenities, and ongoing investments in infrastructure and regeneration projects suggest a town that is actively evolving and improving.
