A Quick Stop in St Albans

St Albans is a short trip from Kings Cross. Please note you can't use your Oyster card though as its one stop past Elstree & Borehamwood which is the limit of where your Oyster card is valid.

A Roman Conquest

Set your sights on a 1800 year old Roman Hypocaust which is an example of early central heating and mosaic flooring. The enclosed attraction does have opening times so should a peek through the window not be sufficient it is advisable to follow the link to their web page for more information.

Record-breaking in St Albans

Ye olde Fighting Cocks public house which features in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest pub in England. It's also close to a fantastic huge park with a lake so plenty of space for a picnic and pets!

St Albans Museum

This museum gets somewhat overlooked by it's flashier Roman cousin down in Verulamium, but it has tons of info on the history of St Albans and the surrounding area. It's well worth a look around if you have the time/inclination. The history of the sculpture was lost many generations ago, very much Stonehenge.

Christopher Place Shops 

This is the centre of the historic city centre of St Albans. There's plenty of local information dotted on boards around the area, including St Albans' shameful vote rigging past.Both the Clock Tower and the Abbey are within a few minutes walk away.

Market days are Weds and Sat.
