Waltham Cross is a small town at the southern edge of the Borough of Broxbourne in Hertfordshire, England, sitting on the fringe of north‑east London. Geographically it overlooks parts of the Lee Valley and the nearby River Lee, and its compact town centre is notable for one of the surviving medieval Eleanor crosses, a striking reminder of its long history as a stopping point on the road north from the capital.
Today Waltham Cross combines a largely commutable economy - with regular rail links into central London and quick road access to the M25 - with local retail, light industry and community life. The town has a diverse population, practical high‑street amenities and easy access to green spaces in the Lee Valley Regional Park, giving it a mix of suburban, historic and riverside character.
