Situated on the A412 between Watford and Rickmansworth, Croxley Green is a vibrant village and civil parish known for its rich industrial heritage and scenic charm. Historically, Croxley Green’s development was closely tied to the establishment of Croxley Mill in 1830 by John Dickinson, a pioneer in paper manufacturing.

The mill’s location by the Grand Junction Canal (now the Grand Union Canal) marked the village as an industrial hub, with Dickinson Script paper becoming renowned worldwide. Many houses built in the late 19th century for mill workers still form part of the village’s historic landscape today. Croxley Green boasts a large village green that has long been a focal point for community events such as May Day celebrations, fairs, and festivals that preserve the tradition of open-air gatherings.

Modern Croxley Green balances its industrial past with thriving community life, supported by excellent transport links via Croxley tube station, connecting residents easily to London and beyond. The village’s leafy streets, parks, and recreational activities offer a charming semi-rural lifestyle close to urban amenities.
