Southbury

Southbury is located in the centre of Enfield and as a key gateway to Enfield Town, Ponders End and the Lea Valley, occupies an important east-west position in the borough. Southbury has large swathes of of industrial land which is dominated by retail and distribution based businesses serving London and beyond.

Enfield Council's Journeys and Places team are developing a new Place Plan for Southbury, which will complement the long-term ambitions for the area detailed in Enfield Council’s new Local Plan.

The new Place Plan will emerge through collaboration and current projects being delivered with local communities, businesses and residents, such as the Shaping Southbury project outlined below.

Shaping Southbury

Shaping Southbury is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is a programme of interventions designed to deliver some initial improvements to the public realm between Southbury Road and Queensway and create a more coherent place identity. Shaping Southbury aims to:

• Explore and celebrate Southbury's identity
• Create a more attractive public realm
• Strengthen local community pride and connection to place
• Encourage Accessibility and Active Travel
• Enhance Safety
• Support local Economic Activity
• Promote Environmental Sustainability
• Build a community of interest around the emerging Place Plan for Southbury

Shaping Southbury is part of Enfield Council’s Journeys and Places programme, which is committed to enhancing the vitality of our town centres, supporting local businesses, and improving the quality of our public spaces to create a more vibrant, greener, and healthier Enfield.

This programme will build on the success of Revealing Southbury - delivered in partnership with Fisher Cheng Architects earlier this year, which produced six beautiful new murals designed with local communities for Southbury Parade and outside Southbury Station.
