Stanstead St. Margarets is a village and civil parish in East Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England, set beside the River Lea in the Lee Valley. It sits next to Stansted Abbotts and close to Hoddesdon, Ware and Hertford, and historically grew up around riverside mills and the transport corridor that follows the river; the nearby Rye House area is notable for its 17th‑century associations and local historic sites.
Today the parish has a mixed character of period cottages and newer housing and functions largely as a commuter community with good road and rail links into London and the county towns. Local life centres on village amenities, a tight‑knit community and the outdoors - the Lee Valley offers riverside walks, cycling and watersports, while small local businesses and pubs give the place a distinct village feel despite its proximity to larger towns.
