Inspiration Wednesday – St Albans
Our #InspirationWednesday today is the lovely Hertfordshire city of St Albans. A pretty city, brimming with quaint architecture, boutiques and the stunning cathedral, St Albans is also a popular residential location for London commuters, with high speed trains running into the city regularly.
Once a historic market town, St Albans still offers up a lively market today, alongside medieval architecture and sites of Roman ruins. Drop into the cathedral for a guided tour of the city’s colourful history or take afternoon tea in one of the many quirky teashops.
With plenty of green spaces, many prestigious schools and such close proximity to London, this is a fantastic place for family living – a relaxed place to grow up and with the city so close for universities, jobs and experiences.
With plenty of attractions, from the local theatre, to the cosy thatched pubs, to the variety of festivals on offer throughout the year, St Albans offers a relaxed and community-led atmosphere in which to live.
