The convenience of Kings Gate as a base for travel, to London and throughout the country, contrasts with its peaceful setting. Less than five minutes? drive from the M25 and within ten minutes of the M1, this pleasant village is less than an hour by car from Oxford Street. Heathrow Airport is less than half an hour away, and Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and Watford are all in easy reach. Trains from Kings Langley station, a 20 minute walk from the development, operate approximately twice an hour to Milton Keynes and London, reaching Euston in around 35 minutes. There are also a few direct services to Birmingham New Street. Bus routes linking Kings Langley with the surrounding communities include frequent services between Aylesbury and Watford that stop close to Kings Gate. A convenience store and post office 500 yards from the development starts a parade of local retailers that includes a family butcher, Spar minimarket, off licences, pharmacies, fast food takeaways and a delicatessen. Shops are interspersed with caf?s and traditional pubs, and the range of specialists services extends from home furnishings and jewellers to hairdressers and beauty salons. An indoor Country Market is held every Thursday, and other shops, pubs and caf?s can be found peppered around the village, all within easy walking distance. There are Sainsbury and Tesco Express supermarkets around a mile and a half to the north, in Apsley.
