Leavesden is a ward in the district of Three Rivers in Hertfordshire, England, sitting just west of Watford and within easy reach of the M25. It feels largely suburban, with pockets of greenbelt and family neighbourhoods alongside commuter households who travel into London and nearby towns.
Its most striking local feature is the film complex now known as Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, created by converting a former aircraft factory and wartime airfield on the site; the studios and visitor tours have brought cultural profile and jobs to the area. Redevelopment of former industrial and institutional sites has blended housing and community facilities into a neighbourhood that combines down-to-earth suburban life with a surprising link to the media economy.
