Hertfordshire and beyond
A place to settle in and explore
A well-connected location gives you options – and that’s exactly what the area provides. One day, you might stay local, drifting between campus, cafés and Hatfield town centre, catching up with friends and letting the day unfold. The next, you’ll be on a train to London for a late exhibition, a match or a night out that feels like a break from the usual routine.
There’s plenty to explore in Hertfordshire too – picturesque towns, independent spots, sports hubs, alternative activities, creative spaces and green places for a change of scene. You can switch things up easily, following your mood as you move between routine and something completely new.
