Loughton is a smart, leafy town sitting on the edge of Epping Forest in Essex, with a mix of countryside calm and city convenience. It's a favourite for those who want to be close to London but still enjoy village-style high streets, tree-lined roads and that outdoorsy feel you only get with proper green space on your doorstep. The town's got a bit of everything—trendy cafés, independent boutiques, good schools, and fast transport links. It's well looked after, quietly proud, and never feels like it's trying too hard.
Loughton has been around for centuries. It started life as a small forest settlement and was first recorded in the Domesday Book. Through the medieval period it remained a modest rural village, mostly known for farming, hunting and the woodland around it. Things started to change in the 19th century when the railway arrived, making it a popular spot for wealthy Londoners looking for fresh air and bigger houses. Victorian villas and Edwardian homes still line some of the older streets. By the 20th century, it had grown into a well-established commuter town, though it's always kept a bit of its village charm, especially in the conservation areas near the forest.
There's loads to enjoy in Loughton itself. Epping Forest is right on the doorstep, perfect for walking, cycling, horse riding or just getting lost under the trees. The High Road has a nice mix of chain stores and independents, along with pubs, cafés and restaurants dotted throughout. There's a leisure centre with a pool, a couple of parks, and nearby you'll find Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge—run by the City of London Corporation and steeped in Tudor history. Just outside town, National Trust lovers can visit Copped Hall or head to Hatfield Forest for a peaceful day out. For something a bit grander, English Heritage's Waltham Abbey is only a short drive away.
Further afield in Essex, you've got even more options. Head into Chelmsford for riverside shopping and parks, or out to Colchester for its Roman ruins and castle. Southend offers a proper British seaside fix—think arcades, fish and chips and the longest pleasure pier in the world. Places like Audley End and Hylands House give you stately homes, gardens and a taste of historic Essex living. If you're into nature, Abberton Reservoir and Rainham Marshes are great spots for birdwatching and open skies. The county's full of easy day trips, whether you're after culture, coastline or countryside.
Loughton's a breeze to get to. It's on the Central Line, so you can be in central London in under 40 minutes. The M11 runs nearby, and the M25 is just a few minutes away by car, making it well placed for road travel too. There are good bus connections across the local area, linking Loughton to Epping, Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill and beyond. For flying, London City Airport is the closest, about half an hour away, but Stansted isn't far either—both offer quick links to Europe and beyond. Cycling around town is easy thanks to decent lanes and quieter residential roads, and the forest paths offer a scenic escape.
Essex as a county is much more than people give it credit for. It's full of character—from ancient market towns to riverside villages and bustling high streets. It's got a long coastline, a rich mix of cultures, and some surprisingly peaceful corners tucked away behind hedgerows and fields. With London right on its doorstep, Essex still manages to hang on to its own identity. Whether you're into outdoor life, shopping, heritage, or food and drink, there's always something happening just down the road. And it all feels that little bit more relaxed.
