Buckhurst Hill
Buckhurst Hill is a well off suburban town within the Epping Forest district of Essex in England. Adjacent to the northern boundary of Greater London, it is part of the Greater London Urban Area. It is to the west of Essex, approximately 10 miles (17 kilometres) 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 mixed in with residential areas. The nearest places are Chigwell, Chingford, Loughton and Woodford. As per the 2011 Census, the town features a permanent resident population of roughly 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', initially describing a hill with lots of beech trees. It lay in Epping Forest and included only a handful of scattered houses along the historic road from Woodford to Loughton. Before the building of the railways, Buckhurst Hill was on the stage coach route between London and Cambridge, Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Dunmow. Historically it was a 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 quick expansion in the population of the area, with approximately 600 new houses having been built near the station by 1871. The town is also home to Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.
