Radlett's population was around 8,000 at the 2021 census — a compact Hertfordshire town that owes its shape almost entirely to the railway.
Built by the railway
Before the mid-19th century, Radlett was little more than a scattered hamlet along the old Roman road to St Albans. That changed when the Midland Railway opened a station there in 1868, as part of its new main line into London. Season-ticket commuting became practical for the first time, and Radlett grew steadily around the station over the following decades, ending up as one of the more recently developed towns in this part of Hertfordshire compared with its much older neighbours.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Radlett's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Radlett shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent than a trip into St Albans or Watford, which is where most Radlett shoppers would otherwise have to go for a wider confectionery range.
