Cockfosters War Memorial, War memorial with Celtic cross at Chalk Lane junction, London Borough of Enfield, England.
The memorial features a stone wheel-head cross on a tapering shaft, mounted on a square plinth with three-stepped base at the intersection of roads.
The monument was unveiled in March 1921 by the Bishop of Willesden to commemorate local residents who died during the First World War.
Names inscribed on the memorial's base represent the connection between Cockfosters community members and their participation in both World Wars.
The memorial's position at the junction of Chalk Lane and Cockfosters Road provides easy access for visitors who wish to pay their respects.
A metal plaque was added to the original structure to include the names of those who perished during the Second World War from 1939 to 1945.
