Enfield Town As A Good CBD Essay, Research Paper

To conclude what makes Enfield Town a good CBD (central business

district). I will firstly answer my sub aims set at the beginning of my

coursework, which will lead on to the final conclusion. Does Enfield Town have a wide range of stores and are they attractive

to customers? Enfield Town has an excellent range of stores. In fact it has over 150,

178 to be precise. Enfield Town is used by most locals for services such as

banks and the wide selection of stores featured there. However, the stores

selling high order goods, that have more recently become popular, are situated

on the outskirts of town. The location of Enfield Town means it can have more customers,

as there are plenty of car parks situated around the town. Enfield Town has a

high street, which is filled with big name stores, which attract the public. It

also has a precinct, which is filled with high street stores. Inside the

precinct it is well pedestrianised so the public can easily do their shopping

in comfort. If you look at the bottom photograph on page 36 you can see a

picture of the precinct. It is also well decorated to attract the public and

make them feel more welcome. The nearest place to do shopping other than at the

town is Enfield retail – park. I think that the public would rather shop in

Enfield Town because the shops are nice and small so you are not hunting around

the store for an item for a long period of time. Also the Retail Park only has 9

shops (including restaurants) whilst Enfield Town has close to 180 shops.Why do people visit Enfield

Town? ?People visit Enfield Town to do shopping in a more homely atmosphere.

The shops in Enfield Town are all closely combined and they are all fairly

small. This is so it is easier for people to pick things up and the don?t have

to endlessly stroll around large stores. Also as the shops are smaller, this

means the staff have less area to cover in their work and so they will be less

stressed and more careful with their customers. Topshop was the most popular shop according to the people in Enfield

Town. This is because there were more women there and Topshop is a women?s

shop. Every one knows that women do a lot of shopping and according to pie/bar

chart 1, there was nearly double the amount of women compared to the amount of

men.Bar/pie chart 3 shows that by a large majority, most of the people in

Enfield Town were there for shopping so the main reason for people visiting the

Town is in fact shopping. People enjoy visiting big name stores as they are

advertised and appear to have the cheapest prices. JJB, Pearsons and WHSmith

appeared to have a lot of customers? as well. JJB is a very popular shop as it

has advertised cheap prices whilst Pearsons and WHSmiths are two of the largest

shops in area in the whole of Enfield town so they can store a large capacity

of the public. How far are people willing

to travel to visit Enfield Town?Enfield Town is situated on a high road

and is easy for motorists to travel along fairly quickly. There are traffic

lights all over Enfield Town so motorists can travel through the town quickly and

safely. The traffic lights also enable the members of the public shopping in

Enfield Town to cross the road easily and safely.Enfield Town has three main forms of public transport to reach it. For

example you can reach Enfield Town by train, bus, and by Cab. Bus stations are

situated all over the town so it is easy to get home by bus. There is a train

station and inside the station is a cab firm so if it is late and your train

doesn?t turn up you can always catch a cab.According to my star graph out of the 25 people surveyed they came from

10 different places, but the larger amounts of customers were from Edmonton and

Enfield which is expected as the are close by and of course, Enfield Town is in

Enfield. One person travelled all the way from Epping, which is 12.5km away so

it is attracting customers from a wide range of places.What are the main forms of

transport to reach Enfield Town? Enfield Town has many things to offer the public so it needs a lot of

forms of transport to reach it. The main forms of transport are car, train, bus

and cab. According to bar/pie chart 2 it shows that out of the 25 people

surveyed the majority decided to come to Enfield Town by car. This is because

when people do a lot of shopping they need something to transport it home in.

Also they could be travelling from quite far away to visit Enfield Town?s wide

range of high street stores. Bus is the second most popular form of transport. This is probably

because there are many bus stops all over Enfield Town and people find it easy

to take the bus. Train is the third most popular form of transport. This is because they

are quick to use and they run on a regular basis. It is also easy to carry

larger forms of shopping on the train rather than the bus. You can also catch a cab from inside the station. Below is a copy of

their business card:Final conclusionFrom all the information that has been gathered and interpreted,

Enfield Town has been an enormous success with many attractions highlighted

throughout my coursework. Its success is down to the enormous amounts of shops

throughout the Town. The retail park is good for buying in bulk, but traditional

shopping centres like Enfield Town will always remain more popular with the

public
