About

Bushey Heath ward sits on the southern edge of the Hertsmere borough, bordering Greater London. The area is characterised by residential streets with a mix of housing styles, from inter-war semis to larger detached homes, set along roads that follow the natural contours of the land. Local shops and services are concentrated along the main routes, serving the immediate community.

The landscape is defined by its position on the higher ground of the Hertfordshire plateau, with notable green spaces like the extensive grounds of the former Royal Masonic School. A key feature is the presence of the Aldenham Reservoir country park, which provides walking routes and water-based recreation. The area maintains a distinct separation from the more urban centres of Bushey and Borehamwood to the north.
