Debden is a suburb in the civil parish of Loughton, in the Epping Forest district of Essex, England. It takes its name from the ancient manor of Debden, which lay at its northern end.[1] The area is predominantly residential, but is also the location of Epping Forest College, East 15 Acting School and the De La Rue printing works.[2] It is one of a limited number of places outside Greater London to be served by the London Underground.
