Designated a new town in 1948, it remains uniquely both, its avenues and greenbelt framing a planned town of around 51,000 residents. Woodhall and Commonswood form the outer residential edges.
Founded in 1920 as England's second garden city, Welwyn Garden City brought Ebenezer Howard's vision of broad, tree-lined boulevards and integrated parkland to Hertfordshire's gentle countryside, 20 miles north of London. Knightsfield and Peartree are well-established as school-competitive corners of the town, drawing families looking to secure primary places, with Lemsford attracting parents who value its village setting alongside access to the town's schools. Thameslink services from Welwyn Garden City station reach London King's Cross in around 30 minutes.
