an urban district in the Epping parliamentary division of Essex, England, 112 m. N.N.E. of Liverpool Street station, London, by the Great Eastern railway. Pop. (1901), 473 0. This is one of the villages which has become the centre of a residential district, and is frequented by holiday-makers from London, owing to its proximity to the pleasant woodland scenery of Epping Forest. It lies on the eastern outskirts of the Forest, near the river Roding. There are several modern churches. The lordship of the manor was granted to Waltham Abbey. In the vicinity are large earthworks, probably of British origin, known as Loughton Camp.
