Near Epping, what is "Bank of England?"
A new contract has confirmed sterling banknotes will carry on being printed
in Epping Forest for the next 10 years.
De La Rue, the world’s largest commercial banknote printer, today announced
that the contract will see the notes printed at the Bank of England
facility in Langston Road, Debden, until 2025.
On September 8, the Bank announced that De La Rue, who have printed the
banknotes in Debden since 2003, had been identified as the ‘preferred
bidder’ for the banknote printing contract, which was finalised today.

Very interesting. Does De La Rue have a section open to the public?

No! It's at the end of Langston Road and it looks like a
concentration camp, with barbed wire all round.
Strictly speaking, Langston Road is in Debden, not Loughton
although Debden is within the larger Loughton area. The other
end of Langston Road is close to Debden Station.
