Royston, on the Hertfordshire-Cambridgeshire border, had a population of around 17,400 at the 2021 census — a market town that exists because of where two ancient routes meet.
Where two ancient roads cross
Royston grew up at the crossing point of the prehistoric Icknield Way and the Roman road Ermine Street — a junction significant enough that it likely shaped both the town's name and its market. Beneath the town centre is Royston Cave, a man-made chamber cut into the chalk and decorated with medieval carvings, accidentally discovered by workmen in 1742 and still not fully explained.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Royston's crossroads history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — that's simply not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Royston shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option — no trip into Cambridge required.
