From St Albans City to St Pancras International, the commute is unbeatable, taking from just 21 minutes. An annual season ticket costs from £3,500.

St Albans is one of a small, elite group of UK cities where average property prices top £500,000. According to the latest UK House Price Index, the average property price stands at £502,956, which is down two per cent year on year.

For period charm and a central location, all roads lead to the Abbey conservation area where a three-bedroom period house will cost £650,000 to £800,000, depending on architectural style and proximity to the station.

A generally lovely place to live, St Albans was this summer voted one of the top 10 spots in Britain to raise a family, based on factors such as crime rate, house prices, drug and alcohol use and school standard.
