Croxley Green, village and civil parish in Hertfordshire, England
Croxley Green is a village in Hertfordshire within the Three Rivers district, centered around a large green space flanked by a mix of older and newer buildings. The All Saints Church, constructed in the early 1870s, stands as a focal point alongside residential streets that extend outward from the central area.
The village developed as a rural area with scattered farms and cherry orchards until paper mills in the 1800s brought workers and growth to the community. It became an independent civil parish in 1986, separating from the larger Rickmansworth parish after decades of gradual expansion.
The village takes its name from the green spaces and central common that define its character, where residents have gathered for generations. Today, the All Saints Church and surrounding buildings remain at the heart of community life, hosting local events and celebrations that bring people together.
The village is easily reached via the Metropolitan Line at Croxley station, which offers quick connections to London, or by road on the A412 near Watford. Local shops and cafes are scattered around the green and main streets, making it easy to find what you need on foot.
The village was shaped by paper mills operated by John Dickinson, whose name survives in local street names like Dickinson Square and Dickinson Avenue. Croxley station, a more recent addition, connects the historic village to London's underground network and transformed its modern role as a commuter hub.
