Watford is a bustling Hertfordshire town offering genuine value for London commuters, with a significant regenerated town centre featuring the Atria shopping complex and Intu Watford. Popular with families and first-time buyers priced out of Zone 3-4, it combines suburban living with good transport links via the Metropolitan and Overground lines. The town has a diverse, multicultural population and benefits from Cassiobury Park, one of the best green spaces outside London.
