Oxhey is a residential ward on the north‑west edge of Watford in Hertfordshire, England, sitting close to Bushey and the post‑war estate of South Oxhey. It has a village‑scale centre and a mix of Victorian and 20th‑century housing, with green pockets such as Oxhey Park and convenient rail access via Oxhey railway station, making it popular with commuters into Watford and London.
Locally there’s a tangible community feel - small shops, community centres and active residents’ groups - and a history shaped by the coming of the railway and suburban growth. Proximity to Watford town centre and its cultural and sporting amenities gives residents easy access to wider economic and leisure opportunities while retaining a quieter, suburban character.
