Why Epping

The case for Epping

Epping has held a market under a charter dating back to 1253, and every Monday around 40 stalls still run the length of the High Street. Around 10,700 people live in the town, which is also home to Epping Forest District Council's offices, and the council's plan values its mix of independent and national shops.

It's where the Central line ends, so it's a natural stop for commuters: Epping station recorded about 3.28 million entries and exits in 2025, with trains to Liverpool Street in about 37 minutes. The Local Plan provides for around 709 new homes in Epping, including a new South Epping neighbourhood.
