The Cathedral City of St Albans can be found a short drive south of Luton Hoo Hotel, and just north of the M25. St Alban’s cathedral is the second longest standing cathedral in Britain, and is a spectacular building to explore. The historic market town hosts a number of cultural events throughout the year, including St Albans Music City and the St Albans Folk Festival. St Albans is a popular filming location with its mixed architecture that may be familiar, and its attractive streets are lined with a variety of speciality boutiques and major stores for a day of shopping.
