“North of Watford” is a phrase that often refers to locations outside Greater London. Although Watford itself is in Hertfordshire, its proximity to London and its position as the last urban stop on the main railway line out of Euston, at Watford Junction, led to this expression. Watford South Junction, a key part of this railway network, has witnessed the evolution of this phrase and the changing face of Watford. Watford South Junction is where the railway line branches off towards Croxley Green. This junction, established in the 19th century, played a vital role in Watford’s industrial growth, connecting it to the national railway network and facilitating the transportation of goods and people. Over time, as London expanded and Watford increasingly became a hub for businesses and commuters, “North of Watford” took on a new meaning, encompassing not just geographical location, but also a perceived cultural and social divide.
