About

Hatfield East is the eastern ward of Hatfield in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield, north of London. The area is largely residential, with a mix of post-war council housing, private estates and pockets of newer development on land that once formed part of Hatfield Aerodrome. Local primary schools, small parades of shops and a community centre serve daily needs, and regular buses along the Great North Road provide links to Hatfield railway station and nearby towns. Council services and residents' groups are active in managing green spaces and local projects.

The former aerodrome has left visible traces: sections of perimeter road and pieces of runway edge appear beside housing and fields on the eastern side of town. That history sits alongside modern uses, with business units and University of Hertfordshire facilities within a short distance. For people living or working in Hatfield East, access to local schools, shops and public transport shapes daily life more than tourist sights.
