Advantages: Decent selection of restaurants and bars Disadvantages: Pubs and bars become too busy at the weekends
Originally a roman town, Watford is a modest market town situated between the outskirts of north-west London and the green belt.
Having lived there all my life, I have had no reason to leave, and being so conveiniently located 20 miles north west of London, I have always commuted into London where I work. Watford has a reasonable transport system. Trains and buses generally.
