Where to stay in South Oxhey
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
An estate rather than a town centre, South Oxhey sends anyone booking a room back towards Watford, and what it offers in exchange is Oxhey Chapel and the walk out to the Greater London boundary. Admiralty House and Pinnerwood House complete the short list of named buildings. Three Rivers runs it.
The Northwick Ward of Three Rivers Council covers these streets.
