Hemel Hempstead is a popular new town in Hertfordshire with a mixture of new, modern and older architecture and enjoys numerous open green spaces including the recently rejuvenated Jellicoe Water Gardens in the town centre.
Situated 24 miles to the northwest of London and conveniently served by the M1 and M25 motorways, Hemel Hempstead has quickly grown in popularity in the last few years. We have seen more migration from the London suburbs, largely due to its fantastic commuter links including the London Northwestern Railway Overground train to London Euston taking only 35 minutes. Both London Luton and London Heathrow airports are easily accessible via the M1 and M25 respectively. The town centre has recently been regenerated and is now a vibrant busy attraction. The Marlowes indoor shopping centre offers chain and independent shops whilst the outside Riverside boasts a number of larger chains.
The local area of Apsley is an outer district of Hemel Hempstead and is still a busy commercial centre. Two Waters Primary School which is very sought after is conveniently nearby, and the station is just a short walk away. Apsley Marina is a charming area, offering a great selection of coffee shops and delightful restaurants. The Victorian shops that arose when it was a mill town now house news agents, public houses, restaurants and a range of small businesses. The former mill sites are taken up with supermarkets, retail parks and offices.
