Chiswell Green at a glance
With three small stations within a mile of each other — How Wood, Park Street and Bricket Wood all sit closer to the centre than most of Chiswell Green's own streets — this AL2 village has always been an easy place to move things through, even without a high street of its own. It sits just under three miles from St Albans and a little over two and a half from London Colney, close enough that a lot of house moves and furniture runs naturally go one way or the other rather than staying local. Van & Driver is opening soon in Chiswell Green, bringing fixed-price van with driver and man and van bookings to the village once local partners are on board. The plan covers the usual range of moves: house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, next-day van work, storage moves, student removals, marketplace collections and commercial courier work, all priced in advance rather than charged by the hour. For residents thinking ahead, journeys such as Chiswell Green to St Albans or on to London Colney and Radlett are already mapped out with set prices for a single item, a half van load or a full van, so there's a clear idea of cost before a driver is confirmed. Nearby recycling centres in St Albans and Harpenden, along with storage options over in Hemel Hempstead and Watford, mean plenty of moves start or end outside the village itself, which is exactly the kind of route this service is being built around.
Chiswell Green had 6,681 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from The Albert Bygrave Retail Park, Christopher Place and Colney Fields Shopping Park is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is St Albans Household Recycling Centre, 3.6 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
