St Albans, Cathedral city in Hertfordshire, England

Located 20 miles northwest of London, St Albans features two railway stations, medieval streets, and Britain's oldest continuous site of Christian worship.

The settlement began as Verulamium, a major Roman city and the first significant stop on Watling Street for travelers heading north from Londinium.

The medieval Clock Tower, constructed between 1403 and 1412, stands as the only remaining medieval town belfry in England.

The city maintains two central train stations, St Albans City and St Albans Abbey, providing regular connections to central London within 20 minutes.

The local market, established in the 9th century, continues to operate every Wednesday and Saturday, making it one of England's longest-running markets.
