Roydon is a village and civil parish in the district of Epping Forest in Essex, England. It sits beside the canalised River Stort, close to the border with Hertfordshire and a short distance from Harlow, giving a mix of rural character and easy access to larger towns.
The village has medieval roots and a compact conservation area centred on its church, while waterside attractions such as Roydon Marina Village draw boaters and visitors to the Stort; many residents commute into London via the nearby rail line. Local life is shaped by small businesses, agriculture and active community groups and clubs, so it feels like a small riverside settlement with both historical interest and a contemporary commuter economy.
