Colney Street is a small hamlet on the northern fringe of St. Albans in Hertfordshire, England, sitting where suburban ribbon development meets the greenbelt. The settlement takes its name from the nearby River Colne and is sited close to other local communities such as Colney Heath and London Colney, benefiting from easy commuter access to London while still being surrounded by farmland and parkland.
Historically rural, Colney Street now combines a quiet, village-like social character with pockets of light industry and warehouses; residents often rely on the wider amenities and rich cultural heritage of St. Albans - from the Roman site of Verulamium to St Albans Cathedral - for shopping, entertainment and employment. The area is typical of outer Hertfordshire settlements that balance proximity to historic town centres with pleasant countryside and good transport links.
