Buckhurst Hill
Buckhurst Hill is a well off suburban town within Essex in England. Situated adjacent to the northern boundary of Greater London, it is part of the Greater London Urban Area. It is to the west of Essex, roughly 10 miles (17 km) northeast of Charing Cross and close to the boundary 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 recorded in the 2011 Census, the town boasts a permanent population of around 11,380 people. The very first mention of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', initially meaning a hill covered with beech trees. It lay in Epping Forest and included just a handful of scattered homes 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. Originally it was part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road connecting the two communities and to be able to get to church, parishioners had to ford the River Roding at Woodford. The establishment of Buckhurst Hill Station in 1856 led to a quick expansion in the population of the area, with roughly six hundred new homes having been constructed close to the station by 1871. The town is also home to Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.
