The open surroundings on all sides and its proximity to that
large tract of forest and plain, its accessability to the City, together
with the other amenities of the district render this suburb one of
the most desirable of Greater London in this direction.
The soil is firm clay, but owing to a considerable slope to the
West and South the water continuously drains away.
The inhabitants consist of Professional and Business men and a
large Artisan population.
The district is well served by train, tram and 'bus, the routes in
each case being direct to the City and North-east London.
