Open Homes workspaceAbout St Albans
St Albans is a historic Hertfordshire cathedral city built beside the Roman city of Verulamium, one of the most important towns of Roman Britain. It is named after St Alban, considered the first British Christian martyr, and its great abbey church became St Albans Cathedral. The city keeps a medieval clock tower, a twice-weekly market dating back centuries, and extensive Roman remains in Verulamium Park. With fast trains to London St Pancras, St Albans is a highly sought-after commuter city with period and modern rental homes.
