History

The first mention of The Fox is in 1682. [2] The Society of Tradesmen and Labourers (1794-1825) met there. [3]

Before the advent of the motor car, the Fox was the terminus of the horse-drawn bus service into London, run by the Davey family of publicans. The building formerly had stables at the back. The present building was constructed in 1904. [4]

In 2002, a dispute between rival Albanian drugs gangs at The Fox spilled out on to the streets of Palmers Green and two men were critically injured and a third man, Edmund Gullhaj (22), was pronounced dead at the scene. [5]

The Fox featured in the film of J.K. Rowling's novel Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). [6]

In 2015, the pub became the London Borough of Enfield's first Asset of Community Value after a successful application by Southgate Civic District Trust. [7] The Wonder public house in Enfield Town is similarly recognised. [8] In 2017, it was reported that Dutch brewers Heineken owned the pub and were preparing plans to redevelop it. [4]
