About

Cunningham ward lies in the southeastern part of St Albans, bordered by the A405 and the railway line. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing from different eras, including post-war estates and more modern developments. Local amenities are centred around the small parade of shops on Woodstock Road South, which serves the immediate community. The ward includes the grounds of the former Napsbury Hospital, with much of that land now redeveloped for housing.

The area is defined by its green edges, with playing fields and the open spaces of the Napsbury Park allotments providing recreational space. Cunningham is notably home to the London Colney F.C. football ground, a local sporting hub. Transport links are key, with the mainline St Albans City railway station easily accessible for commuters to London. The ward functions as a quiet, settled residential district on the city's fringe.
