Why Families Love St Margarets and Stanstead Abbotts
There is a reason so many people choose to settle in St Margarets and neighbouring Stanstead Abbotts. Together, the two villages offer an enviable blend of riverside charm, everyday convenience and a genuine sense of community.
Although separate villages, they sit side by side, connected by the River Lea and sharing a thriving High Street filled with independent cafés, welcoming pubs, restaurants, boutique shops, a Co-op with Post Office and a range of local businesses. Many everyday essentials are within easy walking distance, giving residents the convenience of town living while retaining the character of a traditional village.
The area is rich in history, with attractive period buildings, the historic Clock House and a heritage closely linked to the traditional malting industry that helped shape the local community. Today, that history sits comfortably alongside modern village life, creating a place that feels both vibrant and welcoming.
Families are particularly well catered for, with well-regarded schools nearby, parks, riverside walks, open green spaces and a variety of sports clubs and community groups. Throughout the year, local events bring neighbours together, creating the friendly atmosphere that makes so many people proud to call the area home.
For commuters, the location is equally appealing. St Margarets railway station is within easy reach and offers regular services to London Liverpool Street in around 40 minutes, while the A10 provides straightforward access to Hertford, Ware, Cambridge and the M25. It is this combination of village living and excellent connectivity that continues to make the area one of East Hertfordshire's most sought-after places to live.

Life in St Margarets offers the best of both worlds.
You can start the day with a walk along the River Lea, enjoy lunch in one of the village cafés, spend weekends exploring the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside and still have London within comfortable commuting distance.

It is easy to see why so many families choose to stay here for years to come.
