Serviced office in Watford | Office Space to rent

Watford is a large town in the county of Hertfordshire and on the outskirts of Greater London. Having begun life as the centre of an important agricultural area, the town now forms part of the enlarged urban areas surrounding central London and bordered by the M25 motorway, which encompasses the outlying areas around the capital. Watford, though, has a significant economy and cultural history of its own, as well as a top football club in Watford FC. The town itself was first established by Anglo Saxons and its recorded history dates back over a millennium. The town has long been at a crossroads for travellers heading to and from London and it has numerous historic sites of interest and is close to a variety of rural areas and picturesque regions.
