    Although St Albans is a relatively small city, it still has significant strengths above and beyond its commutable distance to London, including a highly skilled workforce of its own. 46% of residents aged 16 and over living in the district are educated to degree level or above and there are over 8,000 businesses located in the area. As much as 87% are classed as micro-businesses and generally employ low numbers of staff.

    It’s not just small businesses setting up shop in St Albans though with some large companies based in the city as well, two of which are Premier Foods (ambient food sector) and Logica (IT and business process services). The sectors of Research & development, and retail are also major sectors of employment in the city.

    St Albans is home to many boutique hotels and restaurants and maintains strong financial, legal, marketing and commercial opportunities for organisations of all sizes, although potential for further growth may be hampered if new affordable housing and office spaces are now created in the near future.

    Why Move to St Albans

    Close enough to London by rail for city workers but far away enough not to be labelled another dreary urban commuter hub, St Albans is a characterful cathedral city with Roman roots in the county of Hertfordshire. Designated a city by Queen Victoria in 1877, St Albans enjoys all the vibrance and liveliness of London but on a smaller, safer and more intimate scale and has even been named a top ten town in growing affluence.

    Like other regeneration towns in the Home Counties, St Albans has benefited from an influx of young professionals keen to tap into more affordable property prices. More and more are swapping cupboard sized apartments in London for larger town houses in St Albans and a 20 minute fast train service to work. The city has enough going on to match the capital also, boasting its own lively arts scene and being home to a number of thriving independent cafés, bars and coffee shops. Although now classed as a city, its roots as a market town are still very much reflected in the traditional city centre market which is held on Wednesdays and Saturdays with over 160 stalls.

    It’s not just young professionals flocking to St Albans either. The city’s wide open green spaces, the flowery Verulamium park and easy access to the countryside in the form of the beautiful rolling Chiltern Hills pulls in young families, as does the excellent range of local primary and secondary schools. With excellent transport connections to the larger towns of Hemel Hempstead and Harpenden via the A4174, M1 and A1081 also its would appear the second largest town in Roman Britain continues to retain its reputation as a viable alternative to the crowded capital.

    Schools & Education

    St Albans, is a UK top ten town for education, as well as good health and entrepreneurially amongst other things. State schools rate more highly than the vast majority of the country’s private schools, and many people have moved to the area to gain access to that alone.

    The city has a good selection of state primary and secondary schools, and number of independent schools. St Albans High Schools for Girls, St Albans School and Parmiter’s School have all received very good performance ratings.

    St Albans does not have a university as such, however, students can study for a degree at the University Campus St Albans which operates a joint venture between the University of Hertfordshire and Oaklands College.
