More about St. Albans Herts
St Albans is the main urban area of the City and
District of St Albans in southern Hertfordshire,
England, around 22 miles (35.5km) north of central
London. It was the first major town on the old Roman
road Watling Street for travellers heading north and was
previously the Roman city of Verulamium. After the Roman
withdrawal, and prior to becoming known as St Albans,
the town was called Verlamchester or W?lingacaester.
Housing is expensive relative to England in general,
mainly due to fast commuting to London, especially the
City, by train. The local road transport network is
another factor: St Albans is at the meeting point of the
A5183 (the old A5 or Watling Street) and the A1081 (the
old A6); the M25 runs east-west just south of the city;
and both the M1, only a few miles to the west, and the
A1(M), five miles to the east, can provide fast
connections to London and the north.
Apart from its historic core, St Albans is highly
suburban in character, with much of its housing stock
built in the inter-war years and during post-war
expansion. Now entirely surrounded by the Metropolitan
Green Belt, it is seeing significant 'infill'
development and pressure to relax the Green Belt
restrictions.
The council estimates that 20% of the working population
travel to London to work, while local business provides
46,000 jobs of which around 46% are filled by inward
commuters. The local economy is made up mainly of
offices, small enterprises, retailing and tourism-based
enterprises, 80% of which employ fewer than 10 staff. In
the working population, 33% are employed in professional
and managerial occupations. Self-employment in
Hertfordshire runs at 15% of the workforce, compared
with a UK average of 12%.
There are two railway stations in St Albans. The City
Station is about 750 metres east of the city centre and
is served by the Thameslink railway line, with trains
(operated since April 2006 by First Capital Connect) to
Bedford, Luton, London Luton Airport, London, Sutton,
Wimbledon, London Gatwick Airport, and Brighton. The
Abbey Station is about one kilometre south of the city
centre and is served by the "Abbey Flyer", operated by
Silverlink. A single train runs between St Albans and
Watford Junction, starting a new round trip every 45
minutes during most of the day. This line is a
historical accident, the result of the Earl of Verulam
refusing to sell land to the railway company then
driving North from Watford.
There is easy access to London Luton Airport by both
rail and road. London Heathrow Airport is around a 30 to
45 minute road journey.
GCSE results for District schools show 63% of pupils
achieving 5 A* - C grades, against a national average of
around 46%.
The centre of the city suffers significant road traffic
congestion because of the city's many small surrounding
streets, high car use,inadequate roads,poor take-up and
provision of local public transport,to persuade
motorists to drive around rather than through the
centre. The council estimates that 75% of traffic
entering the city is through-traffic. From 2004 the
problem was heavily exacerbated by a bungled series of
road works, prompting severe criticism of Hertfordshire
County Council's Hertfordshire Highways agency. In 2006
the Agency received further criticism for their
incompetence and lack of accountability in the
multi-million pound overspend and late delivery of works
to the St Peter's Street area.
A street market is held in Market Place and St Peter's
Street on Wednesdays and Saturdays, as it has been for
many hundreds of years. There is also a monthly farmers'
market, normally on the second Sunday.
St Albans is one of several places that, by repute, has
the most pubs per square mile in the country (Edinburgh,
Norwich, Nottingham, Otley and Rochdale are other
claimants). It also claims to have the oldest pub in
England, named Ye Olde Fighting Cocks (Nottingham again
providing a counter-claimant in Ye Olde Trip to
Jerusalem).
The main free local weekly newspapers are The Herts
Advertiser, and the St Albans and Harpenden Review. The
sister title of the Review is the paid-for St Albans
Observer, which also has an edition for Harpenden. The
Herts Advertiser celebrated its 150th anniversary in
2005.
