Highfield is a largely residential ward in the London Borough of Enfield, on the northern fringe of London. It sits close to Enfield Town and benefits from good bus and rail links into central London, a mix of Victorian and mid‑20th‑century housing and handy local green spaces that give it a suburban, village‑like feel within the capital.
The area has a diverse community with a mix of private and social housing, small local shops and community centres and an active neighbourhood life; historically it grew from rural Middlesex with commuter expansion in the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Local concerns tend to focus on preserving green space, managing development and maintaining services provided by Enfield Council, while a number of grassroots groups keep cultural and social activity lively.
