About

Berkhamsted South sits on the western side of the Grand Union Canal, with the River Bulbourne flowing through it. The area is largely residential, characterised by streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, along with some modern developments. Its layout is defined by the main railway line to the north and the canal to the east, creating a distinct neighbourhood feel.

The high street and main retail area are located north of the canal, but this southern part has its own local shops and schools. A notable local feature is the Rex, a restored 1930s art deco cinema that operates as an independent film venue and restaurant. Green spaces include the canal towpath and the playing fields of several local schools.
