Welcome to Bishop’s Stortford

When we look at the very best areas to live in Britain, they are all unique but retain one thing in common: that is variety. This means variety in the experiences and the opportunities that they offer, as well as in the depth of their culture and character. Bishop’s Stortford is a place which perfectly exemplifies this.

Firstly, you only need to take a look at this market town’s incredible history. Believed to have been abandoned by the Romans sometime in the 5th century, it found settlers later from the Saxons and the Normans, while it grew throughout the millennium. Connections were made to London through the River Stort, and it transformed into a market town and corn exchange for the first time in the 19th century. Around a hundred years later, it was a major evacuation centre in WWI. All this makes Bishop’s Stortford a truly fascinating place, and one which has a culture that has been deepened by its rich heritage.

However, what makes Bishop’s Stortford truly special is that it manages to perfectly balance this respect for the past with an eye for the future. The Rhodes Arts Complex, for instance, integrates a theatre, dance studio, cinema and a museum to offer a cutting-edge entertainment hub. This blend of the old and new – the variety of new experience with historical wisdom – makes it stand out from so many other places.

That’s just one example. There’s also a wealth of opportunities for the residents of Bishop’s Stratford, with plenty of employment and educational options in the town itself – especially in the tourism and retail industries, as well as elsewhere. This brings us to another big reason why Bishop’s Stortford can offer so many different options in such a small space. That’s because, thanks to excellent transport links, those opportunities are not confined within the market town.

The City of London is under an hour away with connections to various areas throughout the capital. This allows a lot of people who would struggle to get by living in very expensive London districts to be able to follow their ambitions. Once again, Bishop’s Stortford strength is in how much choice it can offer its residents.
