Radlett is a well-established village in the safe green cushions of the Hertfordshire countryside, situated between St Albans and Elstree. It’s a place defined largely by its geography; it sits in the valley of Tykes Water, a stream that eventually feeds into the River Colne, and is surrounded by the Metropolitan Green Belt. Watling Street, the ancient Roman road, runs straight through the centre, and today many of the local shops and independent cafes are clustered along this route. While it feels distinctly suburban and quiet, the village has grown around its railway station, which provides a direct link into London St Pancras on the Thameslink line. Historically, Radlett remained a small collection of farms until the railway arrived in the 19th century, sparking the development of the large, detached villas and leafy avenues that characterise the area today. Common land like Tykeswater Lake and the nearby Battlers Green Farm provide a bit of rural breathing room, ensuring it hasn’t been swallowed up by the sprawl of North London.
