Welham Green is a small village in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield in Hertfordshire, England, on the northern outskirts of Greater London. It has a railway station with regular commuter services into London and is within easy reach of the M25 motorway, which helps explain its popularity with people who work in the capital.
The settlement retains a semi‑rural character with a village green, local shops and community groups; over the 20th century it grew from a farming hamlet into a largely residential commuter community. Its economy is mostly local services and small businesses, while social life tends to centre on village events, clubs and the mix of long‑standing residents and newer commuters.
