Does anyone have any experiences with radlett.
I am currently browsing rightmove and radlett seems to tick many boxes (this is for a move several years down the road), but I would like to find out more about the area when I can. I like its fast connections to Central London and Hendon (where we have family and it is vital that wherever we live is reachable from Hendon using public transport). I like the schools, radlett prep seems a viable option though i know many on MN hate it but there are other good schools too (including coach routes to the jewish schools in north London). The main reason is the strong jewish community there, DH actually wants St Albans so I guess this is a compromise cos its quite nearby and also cheaper from a rail ticket perspective.
The main con other than the house prices (though they seem to have dropped 20% from 2017) is that we don't have a car and while we would probably get one in a few years, I would like to be in a place where I can't do without it. However, there seems to be a lot of amenities in borehamwood (the next station)- gym, cinema, supermarket, daycare, so it could be doable to hop on thameslink and just travel down 1 station to access those amenities. Even though I live in London, I often have to take tubes and buses to do my shopping so that i can have a better selection.
I would love to hear from people who live in radlett/are familiar with the area.
