Constituency Profile
The northernmost seat in Greater London, Enfield North is deeply suburban, almost village-like in parts where green belt legislation has kept housing development at bay, and has much in common with the adjoining county of Hertfordshire.
Deprivation levels are generally high, such as Ponders End, an area subject to significant social housing overspill developments in the 1960s which subsequently suffered considerable neglect. Two miles beyond, the tree-lined avenues of Enfield Chase are quiet and affluent.
