Kings Langley is a historic village nestled in the heart of Hertfordshire, positioned on the edge of the Chiltern Hills and just northwest of Greater London. Known for its charming High Street, riverside walks along the Grand Union Canal, and a strong sense of community, Kings Langley balances village life with easy access to urban centres. The area’s rich history stretches back to medieval times — notably as the site of a former royal palace once frequented by the Plantagenet kings, hence the origin of its name.
