Enfield

Enfield is a village of contrasts. There are beautiful country pubs, rich people's houses, golf course and country roads. Then again, there's also a bit of visible poverty, which manifests as cheap-value shopping areas and dodgy pubs on the main street. There's a feel of being out of London here, which can be nice if you're tired of crowds.
Drinking:

• Crown and Horseshoes is a cozy pub by the river. They have a flame grill for delicious barbecues and Green King selection of real ales on tap. Good place for a beer or a tea. There's also a beer garden in the back.

Parks:

• Town Park is a nice park by the golf course. There's a small river, football field and atmospheric tunnel-like walkway beside the golf course.

Shopping:

• The main street is full of shops from home decorating to food. The shopping centre also has CeX Entertainment shop to buy good value tv-series, computer games and films.
