Are there any boardgame groups that anyone knows of in watford or local to watford? I'm aware D20 exists but not able to attend the open boardgames event they hold Tuesday evenings.

Can anyone recommend a good affordable service that can deep clean my car around town?

I'm a north londoner (30,M) and I'm looking at buying my first house in the North Watford area (within 15 mins walk of Watford Junction Station).
What is the neighbourhood like on the streets off St Albans Road? Is the high street particularly noisy/dodgy at night?
More broadly, what's Watford like these days socially? I used to visit friends here when I was younger and the town seemed to be buzzing. I remember going to the harlequin and oceana ages ago before it shut down. Seems a lot quieter on weekends these days.

Does anyone commute to Euston 3-4 times a week on West Midlands Railway? What is it like, especially at peak times? I used it on the weekend and it was comfortable, but I am not sure how reliable it is during the week.
Are delays common? How reliable is the train?

Hi everyone,
I'm a PhD researcher based in Watford, researching pregnancy complications and how wearable technology could be used in everyday life to improve outcomes for mothers and babies.
I'm currently interviewing women who have experienced pregnancy complications. However, I'm also keen to speak with women who have had routine, low-risk, and uncomplicated pregnancies, including those who may have experienced some anxiety or concerns during pregnancy, as understanding a wide range of pregnancy experiences is important for my research.
If you are currently pregnant or have been pregnant in the past and would be interested in taking part in a 1-1 online interview, please complete this expression of interest form:
https://surveyl.io/34f/PregnancyComplicationStudy/
Participants will receive a voucher of their choice as a thank-you for their time.
If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below or send me a message.
Thank you for considering taking part!

I'm planning to buy a house in Watford and need to commute to Euston. I'm wondering about the reliability of the West Midlands Railway service that would take me to Euston. How frequent are the delays/cancellations?
Also, how crowded is at peak times? Is it worse than the underground tube?
I will have to commute three to four times a week, and although the tube is a fallback, it would take too long.

We have an untaxed BMW SUV, reg FY66 UZW that's turned up in our private car park this afternoon. The police said they can't help and won't tell us if it's stolen. Maybe some person who's getting a train into London and wanted a free space to park. Any advice?

What the best places in around watford to watch tonight's football fight? Are there any public venues with big screens?

I’m thinking of buying a house in Watford. Can you help me understand the commute to Central London (Euston)?
Google says it is about 20 minutes. Is that realistic?
How reliable is the service, and how often do trains run? How much is a return ticket?
r/watford • u/DrBarryBonds • 8d ago
What's the deal, anyone know? It's been hovering in the same square piece of air for the last hour or so, using its flashlight at some point. Been way too long to be a police chase.
Maybe training exercise

Next up at Watford Film Club on Friday 17th July is Dazed and Confused - Richard Linklater’s gloriously laid-back, endlessly quotable, last-day-of-school classic. If you liked his past films such as Boyhood, School of Rock or the Before Sunrise trilogy then you’ll want to catch his breakout movie.
And good news: we’re screening on a football-free day, so no World Cup clashes, no split loyalties, no checking scores under the seat. Just 90 minutes of pure 70s cool - like Brazil used to be?!

Hey all, my girlfriend and her brother will be in Watford this weekend and want to catch the Argentina vs Switzerland World Cup quarter-final. Kickoff is 2am BST Sunday morning (July 12), so it’s a proper late one.
Are there any pubs/bars in Watford that stay open and show football at that hour? Any recommendations welcome, thanks!

This is a long shot but are there any other places apart from spare room I could find houses to rent in Watford or if per chance anyone can help at all..

Need to get some carpeting any recommendations, preferably family or small business rather than national chain.

We have all seen first and second hand reports about the Watford Vampire online for many years now.
There are also many of us, myself included who have spoken to people who recall seeing him as far back as the 1980s.
One mistake we have all made up until now is that we assumed the 1980s was when the sightings started, but what if we've just been asking the wrong people?
People who were old enough to accurately remember the 1980s are now in their 60s and 70s. Has anyone actually asked people older than this if they've seen the vampire? As far as I'm aware, the only people involved in the discussion are that age or younger.
What if we've missed decades of information by just asking the wrong people?
My theory:
The Watford Vampire has long been associated with rats. Plagues of rats drained of their blood found around train stations, in Cassiobury Park, and even in people's gardens have all been directly linked to sightings of the vampire.
We know that in December of 1943, a rat plague descended on Watford, and millions of rats were killed over the course of the month. See the attached photo from a journalist at the time.
It is my theory that this plague marks the vampire's arrival in Watford.
From here I suggest that we all work together to find sources from that period, and possibly even witness accounts, that may link the Watford Vampire to the town 40 years earlier than we first thought.

Is it only me who is very annoyed that literally part of the road are missing under the arches next to the Mercedes Showroom? It’s been like that since the winter before

Greetings. I had a thread here some time ago but I had issues with my account so all of my threads disappeared.
I am asking for a good friend of mine who was in Watford recently for a couple of days and is going back there in a couple of months for a one day trip.
She is asking about public transportation in Watford. Is there a good bus connection between Watford Junction and Atria? In case it rains. Or to the Cass Park and D20 Board Game Cafe from the Junction?
And ofc how are the stops called :)
Can you pay with a bank card on the bus?
