Why is it called Cockfosters?
Piccadilly
Where the name comes from
The name is recorded from 1524 and is thought to come either from a family or from a house that stood on Enfield Chase.
Worth knowing: Before the station opened, "Trent Park" and "Cock Fosters", an early spelling of the name, were suggested instead.
