Shopping facilities are good with an assortment of grocery stores, boutique independents and lots of cafes, pubs and restaurants too.
The town is certainly expanding fast and offers its residents a pleasant lifestyle, with a great community spirit, all within a very comfortable journey of the UK’s capital.
The town has a pleasant, easy atmosphere and because it has such a rich variety of fine, well preserved buildings, the centre of Hoddesdon is a designated conservation area.
Most of the town’s “showpiece” buildings are grouped around the historic Clock Tower which was built in 1835 on the site of the Chapel of St. Katherine which dates from the 14th century. In the Clock Tower there is a bell presented to the Chapel in 1510.
The main shopping area springs out from this central focal point. It is also here you will find pleasant pubs and inns, such as The White Swan, which lies right on the main street. This is an attractive Grade II Tudor style timber-frame building hung with colourful flower filled hanging baskets, and although the interior has been restored it still maintains much of its original character.
