About

Hemel Hempstead Town is a post-war New Town, characterised by its planned layout and central pedestrianised shopping area. The Marlowes serves as the main retail street, leading to the modern Riverside shopping centre. The design incorporates significant green spaces, including the adjacent Gadebridge Park.

The area's most distinctive element is its original 'Magic Roundabout' system, a complex junction of six mini-roundabouts. The Old Town High Street offers a contrast, with its historic buildings and traditional market. The town centre is a functional hub for the wider Dacorum district, providing essential services and transport links.
