Clarence is a compact, mainly residential ward on the northern side of St. Albans in Hertfordshire, England. It comprises a mix of late‑Victorian and 20th‑century housing with local parade shops, schools and small green spaces, and sits within easy reach of the city centre and historic landmarks such as Verulamium Park and St Albans Cathedral.
The area has a broadly mixed socio‑economic profile, attractive to both families and commuters who travel into London, and maintains an active community life with local groups, neighbourhood associations and village‑style pubs. While largely residential in character, its proximity to the civic centre gives it a steady local economy of services and small businesses and keeps it involved in the lively local political and civic conversation.
