What locals say about Enfield
“London's greenest borough - loads of parks and playing fields. Great transport links are only set to get better when TfL takes over the Enfield town line into Liverpool street. Gentleman's row is really pretty area with beautiful old houses and a meandering river. Many affordable Victorian and 1930s houses in the borough. The market square has great potential to improve and the town could do with some independent coffee shops serving speciality coffee. A diverse community, great Turkish restaurant in the town. Saathi is the best Indian and fishandchips@londonroad is award winning”
Kirsten
“Lots of green space and also is much quieter then the city life. The only downside the A406 can be close.”
Mehmet
“Many things: peace and quiet, green space, affordable period property, good shops and a proper town centre, fast train links to central London!”

Like A Virgin
Like a Virgin is BACK. We've re-jazzled our nipple tassels, got an even bigger disco ball and a grand spanking new venue. All so we can bring you our next extravaganza: THE RESURRECTION. As always there is still one golden rule: you cannot ever have performed in your chosen medium before. This cherry popping spectacular is the first-time fumble into the wonderful world of cabaret and performance where both performers and audience members are touched for the very first time. We've seen epic drag performances, a Torvill and Dean reenactment on roller skates, sensational flamenco, stunning poetry, a homage to a communist texan grandparent, a Kate Bush tribute act with water pistols, the time Shane Ward won the X-factor, a dildo hoarding monk, the actual Lady Gaga, potato waffles, a stage full of baked beans, sock puppetry THE LIST GOES ON. It's Easter weekend, there will obviously be an easter egg hunt, maybe a bunny or two, we've got some Like a Virgin staple classics - karaoke isn't going anywhere don't you worry - some amazing DJs to dance the night away with, and some new and exciting surprises up our fishnets. We are so excited to be back, we've missed you dearly and would love to see you on what's going to be a VERY GOOD Friday. Presented by Like a Virgin This is an 18+ eventRead more
