About

Leggatts is a residential district north of Watford town centre in Hertfordshire. The area is made up mainly of mid-20th‑century housing mixed with later infill. A local parade of shops and a community centre provide day‑to‑day services, and a primary school serves families in the immediate neighbourhood. Behind the housing there is a cluster of allotment plots that have been cultivated by residents for decades; the plots sit alongside a narrow strip of playing fields used by schools and clubs.

Public transport runs through the area with regular buses linking Leggatts to Watford Junction and the town centre, and roads lead quickly onto the local ring road for longer commutes. Local organisations run football and youth sessions on the playing fields, and occasional community markets take place on the estate. For visitors the character of Leggatts is its residential streets, community facilities and the allotments that give the area a working, local feel.
