Location

St Albans is a historic Cathedral City in Hertfordshire, England, located about 20 miles (32 km) from London. It is part of the London commuter belt and benefits from strong transport links, including direct train services to London St Pancras in under 20 minutes. Its strategic location makes it a desirable and affluent area, attracting both residents and visitors.

Chequer Street is one of the main retail arteries in St Albans, connecting the historic city centre to key commercial and cultural landmarks. It runs from St Peter’s Street (the main high street) down toward St Albans Cathedral and Verulamium Park, making it a key pedestrian route with high foot traffic.

The street hosts a mix of national retailers, independent shops and cafés, pubs, and restaurants.

Its proximity to the cathedral and other historic sites increases tourism-driven retail activity, while the affluent local demographic supports higher-end and boutique offerings.

Chequer Street benefits from spillover traffic from nearby Christopher Place (an upmarket shopping arcade) and The Maltings (a modern shopping centre), reinforcing its position as part of a broader, integrated retail hub.
