Vicarage is an inner-urban ward in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, sitting close to the town centre and its transport hub. The area blends older terraced streets and council estates with more recent residential developments, and supports a compact mix of local shops, community centres and green pockets typical of a borough neighbourhood.
Locally notable is nearby Vicarage Road, the historic ground associated with Watford FC, which underlines the ward’s strong footballing connections; the ward also benefits from easy access to Watford’s theatres, museums and retail corridors. Historically shaped by Victorian expansion and later 20th‑century social housing schemes, the area today is socially diverse and has been the focus of incremental regeneration and community initiatives.
