Lea Valley living
Hoddesdon is a market town in the Lea Valley, with a busy high street, a clock tower at its heart and the river and country park stretching along its eastern side. The A10 gives quick links north to Ware and south towards London. Rye House and Broxbourne stations are both close, and Hertford is a short drive away. We collect from homes, the high street and the business areas on the edge of town.
If you are flying from Hoddesdon, Stansted is roughly 38 minutes on clear roads and Luton Airport about 32. Heathrow comes in at around 42 minutes, Gatwick at about 1h 07m. Your flight home is monitored, and any time the driver spends waiting for a delay is included in the price.
Short hops to Broxbourne or Rye House station are popular, as are trips out to the Lee Valley Park. A car straight to King's Cross takes about 35 minutes on clear roads, which helps when the trains are disrupted.
