Cockfosters Water Tower, Water tower in London Borough of Enfield, England
The Cockfosters Water Tower features a hyperboloid lattice structure made of reinforced concrete, rising prominently near the edge of Trent Park.
The water tower, completed in 1968, was designed by architect Edmund C. Percey in collaboration with Scherrer and Hicks under Lee Valley Water Company supervision.
The tower marks the northern edge of London's urban development and represents a period of infrastructure expansion in post-war Britain.
With a capacity of 1,130 cubic meters, the tower maintains water pressure for thousands of households in the northern London metropolitan area.
The structure incorporates telecommunications equipment at its summit, combining traditional water management functions with modern communication infrastructure needs.
