Britain's second garden city, Welwyn Garden City is a planned town with distinctive 1920s architecture, abundant green spaces, and tree-lined avenues. Popular with families and commuters seeking affordable alternatives to London, it offers excellent transport links via the East Coast Main Line. The town centre features a mix of chain retailers and independent shops, with a strong community feel but limited evening economy.
