Arriving from central London, the M25 and major routes

If you are travelling from central London, follow the A10 or A1010 northbound and then turn onto Willow Road when you approach Enfield town centre; this route avoids smaller residential lanes and usually provides the quickest journey outside peak congestion hours. From the M25, junction 25 is the most convenient exit for Enfield, take the A121 heading south and follow signs for Enfield Town and Willow Road. These arterial routes connect with local wayfinding which will direct you to Willow House Surgery on the corner of Orchard Way. For drivers using satellite navigation, enter EN1 3AZ to reach the clinic, but be prepared to follow temporary diversion signs where roadworks are in place. During large events or market days in Enfield, expect busier roads and allow additional time when planning your trip.

Recommended travel times and alternatives

• Off-peak weekday travel between 10:00 and 15:00 often offers the smoothest journey by car, however always check live traffic feeds for incidents that may affect the A10 or A1010 main routes.
• Evenings after 18:00 generally have lighter traffic, but public transport frequency reduces, so if you rely on trains or buses check the last services for your return journey.
• Consider park-and-ride or nearby municipal car parks if on-street parking is full, these may add a short walk but reduce stress when you have longer appointments such as comprehensive hearing assessments or hearing aid fittings.
• Use cycling routes or a taxi from Enfield Town station when rail disruption affects bus services, taxis provide a door-to-door option especially helpful for first-time visitors or for those with limited mobility.
• If you are travelling from the north of London or Hertfordshire, approaching via the A10 is typically faster than using the M25 orbital, particularly during daytime peak hours when the M25 can be congested.
