Where is Chigwell?

Sitting on the River Roding on the north-east boundary of London, the market town of Chigwell is based in the rural district of Epping Forest. Most of the town is in the county of Essex in the East of England, although the western and southern borders of the town come under the control of the London Borough of Redbridge.

Chigwell – along with Loughton and Buckhurst Hill – is part of the ‘golden triangle’ of wealthy towns in Epping Forest. There are 24 parishes in total in the district, of which Chigwell the third largest.

The town’s proximity to London, seventeen miles away, has made it popular for commuters as well as retirees. Chigwell is also well-known for being the home of many high-earning premier league footballers and pop stars.

Chigwell is just five minutes’ drive from the M11 and around ten minutes from the M25. It’s possible to access the A12 and the North Circular within five minutes as well. Cambridge is fifty-two miles from Chigwell via the M11 and is approximately an hour’s drive. Oxford is seventy minutes away via the M40, with a distance time of an hour-and-a-half. Reading is sixty-nine miles via the M25 and is about an hour and twenty-four minutes by car.

Business in Chigwell

Chigwell’s location between the two international economic powerhouses of London and Cambridge offers the town plenty of economic activity and diversity. The largest employment areas in the Epping Forest district include construction, finance, insurance, the digital and creative industries, care, advanced manufacturing, and logistics. Of those, construction is the biggest, with the most employees and the most individual businesses. More than 90 per cent of Epping Forest is Green Belt land and, not surprisingly, tourism is on the rise.

Things to Do in Chigwell
