New Southgate
Enfield, London
PocketsNew Southgate & Arnos Grove (south-east · Millennium Green · Bowes Road · Bounds Green Brook)Broomfield Park (Brownlow Road · south-west)
New Southgate sits between Arnos Park and the Piccadilly line at the south of Enfield, a ward whose defining feature is a run of 1930s civic modernism around Bowes Road. All of the ward falls within a conservation area, and the three listed buildings are a tight modernist set: the Grade II Bowes Road Clinic, the Grade II Bowes Road Library and Arnos Pool, and the Grade II Junior and Infant School — together a planned Middlesex County Council civic group completed in 1939 and Grade II listed in 2000. The nearby Grade II* Arnos Grove Underground Station by Charles Holden sits just beyond the ward edge and shapes the approach. Eleven Ofsted outstanding rated schools fall within reach, transport is good via Arnos Grove on the Piccadilly line and New Southgate on Great Northern, and air quality is acceptable for inner-suburban London. The downsides are modest: a thin park footprint at around six hectares, and safety at the London median rather than above it.
