Letchworth South West is a residential neighbourhood on the edge of the world's first Garden City. Its layout follows the original principles, with tree-lined streets and homes set back behind generous front gardens.

The western boundary is defined by the Icknield Way Path, a long-distance trail following an ancient route. This gives direct access to the open countryside and farmland of the Hitchin Gap. Local amenities are focused around the Round Diamond, a distinctive circular green space that serves as a community hub.
