Cheshunt

Where London's commuters park and famous people leave·Hertfordshire·East of England

Cheshunt is where glamour comes to change trains. Elizabeth I visited, Lotus built championship cars here before leaving for Norfolk, Tottenham trained here for decades before decamping to Chigwell, and Victoria Beckham went to school here and then went everywhere else. What stays is the Lee Valley on one side, the A10 on the other, and an Overground platform that lets commuters tell people they practically live in London. The newest arrival to put down roots is a Google data centre, which needs no school place, no parking space and no reason to leave.
