The Historic City of St Albans, dating back over 2000 years to its Roman Settlement origin, contains many fine buildings of the period and together with its 100 acres of parklands and lakes, makes it a most desirable location.
By day the charming old streets are packed with fashionable, specialist shops mixing contemporary living with more traditional outlets, including markets, cafes and restaurants, as well as the usual excellent high street stores and super markets.
Evenings come alive, with a multitude of bars, pubs and restaurants of all descriptions and origins catering for a wide taste and ethnic mix.
Leisure activities abound, with excellent golf courses, fitness centres, theatres, an art centre and museum, as well as the aforementioned parkland facilities.
The local educational facilities are excellent and contain some of the top performing state and renowned private sector schooling.
