context_page_description: Epping is a market town and civil parish in the Epping Forest district of the County of Essex, England. The town is 17 miles north-east from the centre of London, 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 listed buildings. The weekly market, which dates to 1253, is held each Monday. In 2001 the parish had a population of 11,047 which increased to 11,461 at the 2011 Census.
  Epping became twinned with the German town of Eppingen in north-west Baden-Württemberg in 1981.
context_section_description: Epping is served by a number of bus routes, serving many surrounding towns and villages including; Thornwood Common, Harlow, Abridge, Waltham Abbey, Ongar and Brentwood. The bus services are either commercial services, or operated under contract to Essex County Council.
  Epping is served by Transport for London rail services, and is the eastern terminus of the Central line of the London Underground. The Central line now terminates at Epping. However until 30 September 1994, it used to serve stations at North Weald, Blake Hall (until 1981) and Ongar where services terminated. The station has a car park with 508 spaces (the second largest car park on the London Underground network), a toilet, a ticket machine, a pay phone as well as seats for sitting outside of the station to wait for buses.  The Epping Ongar Railway intends to eventually restart the service between Ongar and Epping in the future.
  The closest main line stations to Epping are Roydon, Harlow and Waltham Cross. These services are operated by Greater Anglia.
