Watford is one of the larger towns in Hertfordshire, England, and has approximately 80,000 citizens.

[edit] Get in

Watford is served by the M1 and M25 motorways and is 20 minutes away from London by train. The Metropolitan line of the London Underground serves Watford and tube trains to Baker Street and Liverpool Street run approximately every ten minutes.

Frequent coaches serve Watford town centre from Heathrow Airport (Bus 724, 45 mins) and Luton Airport (Bus 321, 1.5 hours).

[edit] Get around

Most attractions in Watford are within walking distance of each other and do not require buses or trains.

It is worth noting all Hertfordshire buses offer an 'Explorer' ticket which permits a maximum of 2 adults, 2 adults and 2 children or 1 adult with 3 children to unlimited travel for £7. It is often worth doing as it can save money even if you are on your own.

Watford Town Centre comes alive at night particularly on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. The bars and clubs are practically all positioned next to each other up the High Street. As a general rule the music is louder, the drinks are more expensive and the atmosphere is more lively the further up the High Street you go, though there are exceptions.

A flyover divides the strip into the 'High Street' and 'The Parade'. Starting from the High Street and walking up:
