Edmonton

The area has undergone significant changes in recent decades. Once primarily industrial, Edmonton now balances residential areas with retail parks and light industry. The Meridian Water development looks set to further change the area’s character in coming years, bringing new homes and jobs.

Notable landmarks include the 700-year-old All Saints Church and Pymmes Park, a beautiful green space dating back to Tudor times. Charles Lamb, the famous essayist, lived in Edmonton during the 19th century, and his cottage still stands as a museum.

Despite being in London, Edmonton maintains a distinct identity separate from more central parts of the capital, with a strong sense of local history and culture. Notable landmarks include the 700-year-old All Saints Church and Pymmes Park, a beautiful green space dating back to Tudor times.

Rental market: Edmonton offers good value for rental properties compared to other parts of North London. One-bedroom flats typically rent for £1,200-£1,400 per month, while two-bedroom properties fetch between £1,400-£1,700. Three-bedroom houses command rents of £1,800-£2,200 monthly.
