Map of the UK

St. Andrews is an inner-city ward of Chelmsford in Essex, sitting close to the city centre and the River Can. It mixes Victorian terraces and post-war housing with local shops, community centres and small greens, making it a densely settled but residentially varied pocket within easy walking distance of the city's amenities and transport links.

Historically the area grew with Chelmsford's 19th- and 20th-century expansion and has visible connections to the city's industrial past, notably the pioneering wireless activity associated with Marconi; locally notable buildings such as St Andrew's Church act as landmarks. Economically and socially the ward is mixed, with independent traders, social housing and ongoing regeneration shaping its character and giving it a lively, community-focused feel.
