Van Hire Watford

Watford is a town in the English county of Hertfordshire. It is situated 21 miles to the north west of London. The town was formed at the point where travelers forded the River Colne when traveling between London and the Midlands and probably originates from Saxon times. If you’re visiting Watford you may want to rent a van hire from Thrifty Car Rental.

In 1100 King Henry I granted the town a charter to hold a weekly market. The market is now held on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. The parish church of St Mary the Virgin was built in 1230 on the site of an earlier Saxon church. The church was restored in 1871 but several timber-framed buildings still remain around it.

Watford was an agricultural community for many centuries. During the industrial revolution the Grand Junction Canal was built in 1798 and the London to Birmingham railway in 1837. These two developments stimulated the growth of the town during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Cheslyn Gardens in Watford contain a wide variety of styles including rock gardens and beautiful woodland. You can visit them every day of the year, except Christmas Day, with your van hire.

A number of national companies have their head offices in Watford. It is also the UK base for multi-national companies such as Total Oil and Sanyo.

Take your van hire to visit the old Rolls Royce factory to the north of the town. This has now been transformed into Leavesden Film Studios.

Watford has a large shopping centre and a van hire is a good way of transporting all your purchases. You can also use your van hire to visit the Hertfordshire countryside.
