Welcome to Letchworth

Letchworth is a beautiful town located in Hertfordshire, England. It is known for its stunning architecture, lush greenery, and rich history. The town was founded in 1903 by Ebenezer Howard, who envisioned a utopian community where people could live in harmony with nature. Today, Letchworth is a thriving town with a population of over 33,000 people.

One of the most striking features of Letchworth is its architecture. The town is home to a number of stunning buildings, including the iconic Spirella Building, which was once the headquarters of the Spirella Corset Company. The building is a prime example of Art Deco architecture and is now used as office space. Other notable buildings in Letchworth include the Broadway Cinema, the Letchworth Free Church, and the First Garden City Heritage Museum.

Letchworth is also known for its beautiful parks and gardens. The town is home to a number of green spaces, including Howard Park, which was named after the town's founder. The park features a large lake, a bandstand, and a children's play area. Other popular parks in Letchworth include Norton Common, which is home to a variety of wildlife, and the Garden City Greenway, which is a network of footpaths and cycleways that connect the town's green spaces.
