Brimsdown is a place in the London Borough of Enfield in the north of London, forming part of the Enfield postal district within the Middlesex postal county. The Brimsdown area is roughly located in the area either side of Mollison Avenue, to Bilton Way, just south of Ordnance Road, extending as far south as the Mollison Avenue/Jeffreys Road roundabout [1]. It is home to the Brimsdown Industrial Estate and also includes a residential area just west of the Lea Valley railway line.
This area was the eastern-most part of the old parish of Enfield.
The area east of the Lea Valley Lines railway is almost exclusively reserved for industrial use, while west of this railway (which serves Brimsdown and Enfield Lock stations) is a residential area primarily built up in the 1930s which extends, without any particular border, to Enfield Wash and Enfield Lock. This residential area around Brimsdown Avenue, Brimsdown railway station and Brimsdown School is also considered part of Brimsdown.
