Buckhurst Hill
Buckhurst Hill is an affluent suburban town in Essex in England. Located adjacent to the northern boundary of Greater London, it is part of the Greater London Urban Area. It is at the western edge of Essex, roughly 10 miles (17 km) northeast of Charing Cross and nearby to the border with the London Borough of Redbridge. Parts of Epping Forest are in Buckhurst Hill intermingled with residential areas. The nearest places are Chigwell, Chingford, Loughton and Woodford. As outlined by the 2011 Census, the town features a resident population of 11,400 residents. The very first historical record of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', initially meaning a hill with lots of beech trees. It sat in Epping Forest and included just some scattered homes along the old 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. Initially it was 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 rapid expansion in the population of the area, with roughly six hundred new homes being built close to the station by 1871. The town also hosts the Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.
