St Albans that is located in the south part of Hertfordshire in England, is a city that is close to the centre of London - just about 22 miles away, or about 35 kilometres away. St Albans was once a pre-Roman settlement that was called Verlamion - it got its name from the ancient British people who lived there, who were part of the Catuvellauni tribe.
St Albans became the first major town in the Roman road called Watling Street, and after that expanded and turned into a Roman town called Verulamium.
The city is nowadays named after the first British martyr - Saint Albans, who was beheaded as early as 324 AD. St Albans was once a market town and a place of a historical cathedral, but now serves more as a place to sleep in or live in, for the people who work and study in nearby London.
When visiting St Albans you need to be prepared for the type of climate that is experienced there - which is an oceanic climate, which is very much like the rest of the United Kingdom, so you need to dress worm but have short clothes for the sunny days.
