Watford Council provides a comprehensive range of services to the people and businesses in the communities of Garston, Oxhey, North Watford as well as central Watford. It offers an ideal mixture of beautiful countryside, excellent leisure facilities, good communications, historic buildings, purpose-built offices and well located parks and public open spaces.

Being on the outer fringes of London, communications in the area are very good with road and rail links to London and elsewhere, including the M1 and the M25.  From Watford Station, the London Underground Metropolitan Line provides a direct link to the City every few minutes. Trains run to the outlying residential areas of Rickmansworth and Amersham. Watford Junction main line station connects to Euston in 20 minutes. Heathrow and Luton airports are nearby. 

There is varied leisure activity.  The Grand Union Canal is popular with walkers and also with boat users.  The Woodside Leisure Park on the North Orbital Road at Garston offers a Warners Brothers cinema complex with restaurants and a bowling alley. There is a golf course at West Herts near to Cassiobury Park.   

Renowned Haberdashers’ Aske for girls and Merchant Taylors for boys are just two of the private schools to choose from, proud of their achievements and facilities.
