Around the county town
Hertford is the county town, a handsome place on the River Lea with the gatehouse of Hertford Castle set in gardens right in the centre. Its streets are lined with independent shops, pubs and restaurants, and it has two stations: Hertford East, with trains towards Liverpool Street, and Hertford North, with services towards Moorgate. We pick up across the town, from Bengeo to Sele Farm and Hertingfordbury.
Hertford is one of the easier spots for Stansted, roughly 38 minutes away on clear roads. Luton Airport is about 27 minutes, Heathrow around 36 minutes and Gatwick near 1h 11m. If your homebound flight is held up, your driver waits at no extra charge.
A Friday night out in Hertford and a ride home afterwards is a common booking, as are trips to Hertford North or Hertford East for commuters. King's Cross is roughly 41 minutes by car on clear roads.
