Epping is a market town and civil parish in the district of Epping Forest, Essex, sitting on the north‑west edge of the ancient woodland. Its historic High Street, with timber‑framed and Georgian buildings, and the parish church of St John the Baptist reflect medieval origins and a longstanding market tradition.
Now a mix of independent shops, pubs and small businesses, the town attracts walkers and wildlife enthusiasts drawn to the forest while also serving a commuter population via the Central Line terminus to London, giving it a blend of rural character and suburban links.
