Grange Park is a suburban village of northern Middlesex, sitting 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.
The area was largely developed in the early 20th century on the site of Enfield Old Park. It is served by Grange Park railway station.
In addition to housing, Grange Park has a retail and commercial area around The Grangeway, which includes the railway station and a public house, the Gryphon. The area has two churches: St. Peter's Church of England and Grange Park Methodist Church (The Church in the Orchard).
