Less than a mile from the site, Epping town centre offers a mix of independent shops, cosy cafés, and pubs. The Epping Underground Station (Central Line) connects you to central London in around 30 minutes — perfect for a spontaneous city day out. Other local highlights include: Lee Valley Regional Park – Outdoor activities, boating, and nature trails. Cammas Hall Farm – A family-run farm with seasonal fruit picking and a farm shop. Copped Hall – A stately home and historic ruins with regular open days. North Weald Airfield – Aircraft museums and vintage car events.
