About Letchworth Garden City

Letchworth is a great place, beautiful old houses, and of course the first roundabout in Britain.

Letchworth Garden City, more commonly Letchworth, is a town in Hertfordshire, England. The town's name is taken from one of the three villages it surrounded. The land used was first purchased by Quakers who had intended to farm the area and build a Quaker community.
Founded and created in 1903 by Ebenezer Howard, it was one of the first new towns, and is the world's first Garden City. Its development inspired another Garden City project at Welwyn Garden City, and had great influence on future town planning and the New Towns
movement. Today it has a population of around 33,000.
