Welwyn Garden City, located in Hertfordshire approximately 20 miles north of central London, is one of England’s best-known examples of the garden city movement. Founded in 1920 by Sir Ebenezer Howard, the town was designed to combine the benefits of the city and countryside, resulting in leafy boulevards, spacious parks, and a carefully planned town centre. Today, Welwyn Garden City maintains much of Howard’s original vision, with distinct tree-lined avenues, ample green spaces and a strong sense of order and community.
