About

Shenley ward encompasses the village of Shenley and its surrounding rural land within the Hertsmere borough. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing developments and older properties set along quiet, leafy lanes. Farmland and open fields border the settlement, maintaining a distinct separation from the more urban areas to the south. The local community is served by a village hall, a primary school, and several small businesses clustered near the centre.

A notable historical landmark is the Shenley Hospital chapel, a remnant of the former asylum complex, which now stands isolated amidst converted residential developments and new housing estates. The ward's landscape includes pockets of woodland and the grounds of Porters Park Golf Club. Traffic primarily flows along the main roads connecting to Radlett and London Colney, while much of the internal network consists of cul-de-sacs and smaller estate roads.
