Join us for a thoughtful and timely discussion on housing, growth, and the future of outer London.
With a new draft of the London Plan on the horizon and pressure mounting to deliver 880,000 new homes across the capital, outer boroughs like Enfield face tough questions—and exciting opportunities.
How do we meet urgent housing needs while respecting the character of existing neighbourhoods? What role should the Green Belt and grey belt play? And how can local people be part of shaping change, rather than feeling left behind by it?
Hosted by The London Society and the Enfield Dispatch, this event brings together local voices—from campaigners to councillors, academics to activists—for a constructive conversation about the future of Enfield and beyond.
Speakers include:
- Jack Brown (King’s College London)
- Cllr Ergin Erbil (Leader, Enfield Council)
- John Murphy (London YIMBY)
- Andrew Lack (Trustee and IT Admin for the Enfield Society)
- Heather Cheesbrough (Town Planner)
- Leanne Tritton (The London Society)
Chaired by Dave Hill (On London) with support from James Cracknell (Enfield Dispatch), this evening is about ideas, not arguments—and how we can build a future that works for everyone.
