Buckhurst Hill
Buckhurst Hill is an affluent suburban town in the Epping Forest district of Essex in England. Located adjacent to Greater London's northern border, it forms part of the Greater London Urban Area. It's to the west of Essex, roughly 10 miles (17 km) northeast of Charing Cross and nearby to the boundary with the London Borough of Redbridge. Parts of Epping Forest are in Buckhurst Hill and are mixed in with residential areas. The nearest areas are Chigwell, Chingford, Loughton and Woodford. In line with the 2011 Census, the town features a permanent resident population of about 11,380 residents. The first record of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', traditionally describing a hill covered with beech trees. It sat in Epping Forest and consisted of just some scattered houses along the ancient road from Woodford to Loughton. Just before the construction 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 a part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road which connected the 2 communities and so as to get to church, residents had to ford the River Roding at Woodford. The opening of Buckhurst Hill Station in 1856 led to a fast expansion in the population of the area, with nearly 600 new homes having been constructed near the station by 1871. The town also hosts the Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.
