Harpenden is a thriving commuter town located halfway between
St Albans and Luton.
Although it has some 30,000 residents and a growing number of small-to-medium
sized businesses, Harpenden  still
retains a “village” feel. Its tree-lined High Street,
town greens, period cottages, and Common which has held a Green
Flag for four consecutive years all add to the character of the
town. The Common is 238 acres of open space, supporting cricket,
football and golf clubs whilst boasting a County Wildlife Site designation.
The Town Centre offers eating establishments to cater for all tastes,
independent shops and four supermarkets. There are two further shopping
areas in Southdown and Batford. Residents can also enjoy the many
attractions London has to offer, which is only a 30-minute train
ride away by the First Capital Connect train service. Alternatively,
Luton Airport, less than 5 miles away, acts as a gateway to an extensive
choice of European City destinations and beyond.
