Welcome to Harpenden Town
Harpenden is a thriving commuter town located half way 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 with its tree lined High Street, town greens, period cottages, and Common – 96.39 hectares of open space that supports cricket, football and Golf clubs whilst boasting a County Wildlife Site designation.
The Town Centre offers eating establishments to cater for all tastes, bespoke shops and two 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 Thameslink train service. Alternatively, Luton Airport, less than 5 miles away, acts as a gateway to an extensive choice of European City destinations and beyond.
