Buckhurst Hill is an affluent town and civil parish in the Epping Forest District of Essex, England. It is inside the M25 London orbital motorway but lies just outside the administrative boundary of Greater London. It is adjacent to the northern boundary of the London Borough of Redbridge and is 11 miles (18 km) north-east of Charing Cross in central London. The area developed following the opening of Buckhurst Hill station in 1856 on what was originally a branch of the Eastern Counties Railway but now forms part of the Central line of the London Underground. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 11,755.
