History, heritage & famous connections
Grange Park grew up late, on the higher farmland between the ancient villages of Winchmore Hill and Enfield in what was then rural Middlesex. Its name comes from the Old Park estate and the grange farmland it was built on, and until the railways the area was open country supplying hay and produce to London. The opening of the Hertford Loop line and Grange Park station in the early twentieth century opened the land up for building.
Between the wars Grange Park was laid out as a planned, low-density garden suburb of large detached and semi-detached houses on wide, tree-lined roads, The Grangeway, Old Park Ridings, Vera Avenue and Green Dragon Lane, aimed at prosperous professional families commuting into the City. That interwar character still defines the enclave today. Grange Park was absorbed into the new London Borough of Enfield in 1965, and remains one of the borough’s most affluent and sought-after residential areas, its leafy streets, parks and its own station little changed in feel.

- You are buying, moving or remortgaging in Grange Park and want help comparing lenders rather than relying on one bank’s own range.
- You are employed or self-employed with reasonably clean credit and a deposit of around 5% or more.
- You want the mortgage and the protection that goes with it sorted together, rather than as two separate jobs.
