About

Hertford South is a residential district located directly south of Hertford town centre, separated by the River Lea. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from post-war terraces to more modern developments, with several local schools and convenience shops serving the community. The land is largely flat, typical of the Lea Valley, with the river and its associated waterways forming a key part of the local geography.

A notable green space is Hartham Common, a large park with sports fields and a leisure centre situated along the riverbanks. The area is well-connected by road, with the A414 providing a major route. Residential streets are generally quiet, with a practical, suburban atmosphere focused on local amenities rather than central town facilities.
