About The West Side Welwyn Garden City bears the legacy of Sir Ebenezer Howard, who founded the town in the 1920s and developed it into a designated new town in 1948.
Conceptualized as a harmonious blend of urban conveniences and rural tranquility, Welwyn Garden City offered residents an escape from the hustle and bustle of overcrowded cities to a haven of sunshine, leafy lanes, open countryside, and inviting cafes.
The town's design emphasized creating a healthy and vibrant environment for its inhabitants.
Today, Welwyn Garden City's town centre stands as a vibrant hub teeming with activity and features an array of shops to cater to various tastes and needs.
The focal point is the Howard Shopping Centre, home to popular high street retailers like John Lewis, complemented by convenient supermarket options including Waitrose and Sainsburys on the town's outskirts.
Additionally, a charming cinema venue offers the latest film releases for entertainment seekers.
