Watford, UK, is located 17 miles (27.4 km) northwest of London. It has 43 public parks, gardens, and other outdoor recreational areas. Watford is home to Leavesden Film Studios, where the Harry Potter films were produced and its location and attractions make it a great place to stay. The high street is the place for nightclubs, bars, and restaurants and the Harlequin Shopping Center is a large indoor mall, with over 140 shops and restaurants.

Watford is also the home of UK companies, such as the Camelot Group, making it a great place for the business traveler, tourist, and the Harry Potter addict, to spend the night. The city even has accommodations for the frugal traveler, comfortable hotels, and VBRO listings, that let you stay like a true English gent and lady. Watford accommodations are close to London, but yet have a flair all their own.
