Thank you for your patience whilst a TfL compound is situated at the Bury Road overflow car park. The compound will be in place until early Spring. This will allow TfL to carry out essential improvements to the train line from Chingford to Liverpool Street, bringing benefits to the local area and for visitors to Epping Forest.
The oak processionary moth is a pest which has established itself in oak trees in parts of the UK, including Epping Forest. It can cause severe skin rashes and other health problems in people and animals, so we advise visitors to learn how to recognise and report them.
See our Oak Processionary Moth page for more information.
