WALTHAM CROSS

'Waltham Cross' is the most south-easterly town in Hertfordshire, England.
The town generates some historical interest, despite redevelopment, as it is the location of one of the Eleanor Crosses, which can clearly be seen in the town centre, and because London's Temple Bar monument was formerly located in woodland just outside the town. It is located at UK , just south of Cheshunt and north of Enfield.
The Pavilion, a shopping centre, is in the centre of the town. Adjacent is a large bus station, a result of Waltham Cross being on the border of Travelcard Zone 6 where London Buses will terminate and link with services for Hertfordshire and Broxbourne. Waltham Cross railway station, which is not within the London Travelcard zones, links directly with London Liverpool Street, the journey taking approximately 30 minutes.
The development of Park Plaza, a large News International printing works which will be responsible for pressing copies of newspapers such as ''The Sun'' and ''The Times'', will soon be completed on land to the west of the town centre, adjacent to the Holmesdale Tunnel, the A10 and Junction 25 of the M25 motorway. Despite opposition from local residents, the local council (Broxbourne Borough Council) approved this development. Refurbishment work is also taking place on Holmesdale Tunnel which has caused an increase in congestion on the local roads as cars are diverted off the motorway.
Cliff Richard went to King's Road Primary School in Waltham Cross. Jack Tweed, who appeared in Celebrity Big Brother 2007, is also from Waltham Cross.
