About

London Colney is a village and civil parish in Hertfordshire, within the City and District of St Albans, roughly two miles north of St Albans city centre. The settlement sits beside the River Colne, which runs through the village and its adjacent meadows. The centre contains a handful of shops, a primary school, a village hall and several pubs, while residential streets radiate out from the High Street. Local green space includes a recreation ground used for sports and community events, and footpaths that follow the river corridor into surrounding farmland.

The area has a mix of small business parks and light industrial units along the main road, alongside housing that ranges from older cottages to more recent estates. Regular local groups and seasonal activities meet at the hall and churches, and walkers use lanes and riverside paths for short routes that avoid busier roads. Road links make commuting straightforward for people working in St Albans and beyond, while the river valley and floodplain meadows remain a consistent feature of the village landscape.
