Grange Park is located between Enfield Town to the north Bush Hill to the east, Southgate and World's End to the west, and Winchmore Hill to the south. It was largely built in the early 20th century on the site of Enfield Old Park. As well as housing there is a retail and commercial area around The Grangeway, that includes the railway station and a public house, the Gryphon. There are two schools, Grange Park Primary School and Grange Park Preparatory School, and two churches, St. Peter's Church of England and Grange Park Methodist Church (The Church in the Orchard). An annual Boxing Day Tug of War takes place.^[1]
