Chiswell Green is a small village on the southern edge of St. Albans in Hertfordshire, England, centred on a traditional village green and surrounded by greenbelt countryside. Historically part of the wider parish of St Albans, it developed mainly in the 19th and 20th centuries and still mixes older cottages with more modern housing, giving it a semi-rural feel despite its closeness to the city.
Today the area is largely residential with a strong local community, a primary school, village hall and active sports clubs; many residents commute to London or into St. Albans for work, benefiting from nearby rail and road links. Local events on the green, easy access to walks in the surrounding countryside and the convenience of St Albans’ shops and historic sites make it a popular place for families and professionals seeking village character close to urban amenities.
