Enfield Town Centre
Enfield Town is located in the heart of Enfield and is the largest town centre in the borough and is a historic market town, home to a market that was first established in 1303 and is still operational today.
Enfield Town is also home to 7% of the borough’s jobs and 8% of businesses, making it the largest economy of our five priority town centres. Employment is predominantly in the retail and public administration sectors, driven by the large number of high street shops and the Council offices.
Town Centre Vision
A focal point for the borough: the embodiment of the modern-day market town. A place with a strong identity which celebrates the diversity of the borough through commerce, culture and heritage.
The Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhood project is delivering a significant transformation shaped by this shared vision and five Design Principles developed in collaboration with local stakeholders. Together, these aim to create an Enfield Town that:
- Is safe for all;
- Has a vibrant economy;
- Is a great place to be;
- Offers transport choices; and
- Celebrates its heritage
Enfield Council is focused on working with the community to create a healthy town centre that encourages more people to visit and enjoy their time in Enfield Town. We are delivering new and improved public spaces, alongside better pedestrian, bus and cycling facilities that will mean people can arrive to and get around the town centre by foot, cycle, bus or car.
We have engaged the community since 2019 to hear the views of residents, businesses and other stakeholders to shape the vision for the future of Enfield Town. We have heard from over 3000 people through the Let’s Talk Enfield Town engagement activities and events.
Recent key improvements have included:
- Completion of Saddlers Square — a new public space designed to enhance pedestrian movement and provide a vibrant gathering place in the town centre.
- Delivery of pedestrian crossing upgrades, widened footpaths and improved walking and cycling connections as part of Phase 1 of the Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhood project.
- Ongoing construction of Phase 2A, delivering more enhanced pedestrian crossings, new planting and bus priority measures along Church Street and around Market Square.
Please see below for updates on what's happening in Enfield Town and ways to get involved in shaping the future of Enfield Town.

Enfield Town:
- is safe for all
