Theydon Bois is a rather picturesque village and civil parish on the edge of Epping Forest in Essex, England, known for its leafy commons, village green and a number of thatched cottages. It sits on the eastern fringe of London's commuter belt and is served by a London Underground station on the Central Line, giving many residents easy access to London while retaining a strong rural feel.

Historically the name reflects the medieval de Bois family who once held the manor, and the village still centres on its conservation area, parish church and active local clubs; there’s a lively community calendar with cricket, fêtes and village societies. Economically it functions largely as an affluent commuter settlement with independent shops and pubs, its desirability driven by the combination of forest walks, historic buildings and transport links.
