Buckhurst Hill
Buckhurst Hill is an affluent suburban town within the Epping Forest district of Essex in England. Located adjacent to Greater London's northern border, it is part of the Greater London Urban Area. It is to the west of Essex, about 10 miles (17 kilometres) northeast of Charing Cross and close to the border with the London Borough of Redbridge. Parts of Epping Forest are in Buckhurst Hill and are intermingled with residential areas. The nearest places are Chigwell, Chingford, Loughton and Woodford. As outlined by the 2011 Census, the town has a population of about 11,380 residents. The initial record of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', traditionally meaning a hill which is covered with beech trees. It lay in Epping Forest and consisted of only a handful of scattered houses along the ancient road from Woodford to Loughton. Before the building of the railways, Buckhurst Hill was on the stage coach route in between London and Cambridge, Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Dunmow. Traditionally it was part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road which connected the two communities and to be able to get to church, parishioners had to cross the River Roding at Woodford. The establishment of Buckhurst Hill Station in 1856 saw a fast expansion in the population of the area, with about six hundred new homes being constructed near the station by 1871. The town also hosts the Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.
