    Why Move to Potters Bar

    Potters Bar is located in the popular upmarket county of Hertfordshire. It lies 13 miles north of London and is home to approximately 22,500 inhabitants.

    The town dates to the early 13th century but remained a small, mainly agricultural, settlement until the arrival of the Great Northern Railway in 1850.

    Major expansion occurred during the 1930s as part of a plan to accommodate population overspill from London and this development has continued up until the present day.

    Geographically desirable, Potters Bar forms part of the London commuter belt. Ideally located on junction 24 of the M25 and close to the A1M, the town sits outside the London orbital, though only 18 miles to the city centre.

    Although Covid has halted some of Hertsmere Borough Council’s plans, things are now back on track and a swathe of improvements for Potters Bar and the local area is in the pipeline.

    Important issues such as the provision of better community facilities and new affordable housing developments, renewable energy and improvements to the town centre and its shopping provision are all under review.

    Having most of the town schools performing well is a fantastic draw for families and one of the main reasons why so many decide to move here from other areas when they have children.

    The town is definitely one worth considering when looking to move.
