Area Feature

Southgate is a historic and attractive suburban town, which is something of a magnet to many families because of its excellent selection of primary and secondary schools. It also has a wide range of private schools in the area. 

It is located in North London, primarily within the London borough of Enfield, although some of its fringes lie within the boundaries of Barnet.

Southgate is also known for having a generous supply of large green parks in the area, with the most notable one being the 92 acres of Groveland Park.

The area has benefited greatly from some of the different communities that have migrated there over the years and it has a very high concentration of restaurants and cafés.

Here you can find anything from authentic Italian cuisine to East-Asian food. Properties in the area consist predominantly of 1920s and 30s housing estates, with the odd sprinkling of more contemporary buildings here and there.

Its history dates all the way back to the 1300's, but the area wasn't really on the map until 1933, when the Piccadilly Line was extended there.

Just six years after the arrival of the Piccadilly line, a parade of shops and housing estates sprung up, as an increasing number of people moved to the area.

Since then, Southgate has transformed into a thriving London suburb, which has become known for its diversity, its wide variety of restaurants, and excellent schools.

It also has transport links to other parts of the capital. This has helped to draw in City professionals who are attracted by the quick routes into Central London and the facilities that the area offers.

Properties

In the 1930s, streets of large semi-detached houses sprung up across the locality, thanks to the development of transport.

Areas such as Walker, Osidge and Monkfrith are the better known estates within Southgate, which were constructed over the decades.

The area also has a large number of Grade II listed Georgian and Victorian houses, in addition to modern flats and houses which were developed over the last couple of centuries.
