Cockfosters

The end of the Piccadilly line, which means you always get a seat. That's a genuine selling point for commuters. Cockfosters sits right next to Trent Park, which is a proper country park with woods, lakes, and an obelisk. The housing is mostly 1930s and later, built when the tube arrived. Detached and semi-detached houses with gardens on quiet, residential streets. The local shops are limited but Enfield Town and Barnet are both close by car. It's suburban in the best sense, and families pay a premium for the combination of green space and tube access.
