About

Verulam ward encompasses the northern part of St Albans city centre, stretching from the Abbey and Cathedral grounds up to the ancient Verulamium Park. The area is defined by its historical layers, with the Roman city walls and the medieval Abbey Gate forming key landmarks. Residential streets of Victorian and Edwardian houses branch off from the main thoroughfares, which host a mix of local shops and services.

The ward's central green space is Verulamium Park, featuring the preserved Roman theatre, a lake, and the Verulamium Museum built over the actual ruins. This integration of ancient history within a public park is a defining characteristic. The area is primarily residential, with a community focused around local schools, the Abbey, and the weekly street market held in the adjacent city centre.
