About the west side
Welwyn Garden City was founded by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the 1920s and designated a new town in 1948. It was aimed to combine the benefits of the city and countryside. Surrounded by rolling Hertfordshire countryside, Welwyn Garden City was an escape from life in overcrowded cities to a place of sunshine, leafy lanes, countryside and cafes. Emphasis was placed on the Garden City's healthy environment. Today it’s a busy and bustling town with a selection of shops, the Howard Shopping Centre is located in the centre of Welwyn Garden City where you can find a selection of high street favorites including John Lewis and Marks & Spencer there is also a Waitrose and a Sainsbury’s in the town. Welwyn Garden also has its own quaint cinema in the town centre, showing the latest films.

For those who like to lead an active lifestyle, there is everything from football pitches, golf driving ranges, indoor and outdoor tennis, to an athletics track, a public velodrome and a dry ski slope. Also, there are a number of gyms in the area. Convenient commuter links (The mainline station provides easy access to London’s Kings Cross within 20 minutes) inviting communal spaces plus a wealth of open green space to relax and recharge.
