Herts Essentials in Cheshunt

Cheshunt is a town in the Borough of Broxbourne, sitting on the River Lea and Lee Navigation in the London commuter belt — 13 miles north of central London and bordering the Lee Valley Park. The 2021 census recorded a Cheshunt built-up area population of 43,680, making it one of the larger towns in south-east Hertfordshire. The town's economy reflects its position: a heavy construction and trades base serving both Hertfordshire and the M25 corridor, a substantial retail footprint anchored by the Brookfield retail park, and a growing tech-infrastructure layer following Google's decision to open its first UK data centre at the Theobalds Business Park in 2025. Our Herts Essentials service is perfect for businesses in Cheshunt looking to establish a strong online presence and connect with local customers. Cheshunt's commercial geography is unusually well-defined. The historic retail core sits around the Old Pond junction (where Turners Hill meets College Road) — classed as a district centre by Broxbourne Borough Council. The much larger Brookfield retail park, on the north side of town adjoining the A10, is the modern shopping anchor; planning permission was granted in 2025 for a "Brookfield Riverside" town-centre expansion coupled with the 1,250-home Brookfield Garden Village to its west. The Theobalds Business Park (A10 / Lieutenant Ellis Way) offers modern offices and small-business enterprise space, and now hosts Google's first UK data centre. Delamare Road has light-industrial heritage — Lotus Cars was based there from 1959-1966, manufacturing the Lotus 23B. Retail was the single largest employment sector in Broxbourne in 2021, accounting for 23.5% of jobs — well above the 14.4% Hertfordshire average.
