Epping is a market town and civil parish in the Epping Forest District of Essex, England. Part of the metropolitan and urban area of London, it is 17 miles (30 km) north-east of Charing Cross. It is surrounded by the northern end of Epping Forest, and on a ridge of land between the River Roding and River Lea valleys.

Epping is the terminus for London Underground's Central line. The town has a number of historic Grade I and II* and Grade II listed buildings. The weekly market, which dates to 1253, is held each Monday.[3] In 2001 the parish had a population of 11,047[1] which increased to 11,461 at the 2011 Census.[2]

Epping became twinned with the German town of Eppingen in north-west Baden-Württemberg in 1981.[4]
