About Hertfordshire

Characterful Hertfordshire is favoured by commuters who enjoy the relative ease of travelling into London.

From historical cities such as St Albans to the garden cities of Welwyn and Letchworth, the county offers a blend of medieval history and urban living, with a wealth of period townhouses and charming cottages close to modern amenities.

Teachers in Hertfordshire will benefit from the wide range and diversity of schools in and around the county – one of the reasons that Herts has been named the UK’s best place to raise a family.

Although there are good links to London throughout the county, those who live in South Hertfordshire will especially benefit from a fast Thameslink connection through the centre of the capital, making teaching jobs in London a viable option.

How much is the cost of living in Hertfordshire?

According to the UK Government, the typical house price in Hertfordshire was 36% higher than the national average, at £425,455. However, this is still significantly cheaper than the average London house price which currently stands at £542,311. Hertfordshire covers multiple areas, with some being cheaper than others.
