About

Woodside & Leavesden Green is a ward in the northern part of Watford, made up mainly of residential streets, small local shops and school sites. The area includes several green spaces and playing fields used for weekend sports and day-to-day walks. Parts of the ward still show traces of the wartime Leavesden Aerodrome: old runway lines and industrial parcels have been repurposed over time for housing and light industry, and that history shapes some street patterns and land use. Community facilities include primary schools, a community centre and a scattering of convenience shops along the main roads.

Public transport links connect the ward with Watford town centre and surrounding suburbs by frequent bus services and direct road routes to regional roads. Many residents use the local parks and recreation grounds for football, informal play and short nature walks rather than travelling far for open space. Small-scale local projects and volunteer groups maintain allotments and pocket parks, and those things give the area a practical, neighbourhood focus rather than a tourist orientation.
