Information About St. Albans Blog
StAlbansBlog is written by a couple in their early 30’s who have a toddler and live in central St. Albans. We arrived in the city about 4 years ago so we’re still new enough to notice stuff that people born and raised in the city probably miss yet we’ve been here long enough to know some of St. Alban’s secrets too, like the ghost that turns the gas off at the Verulam Arms and the hidden Wildlife Preserve located just moments from the the city centre.
Whenever our family goes out in or around St. Albans, we try to document the places we visit, restaurants we eat in and things we see. We’ve never been paid to write a review, nor have we been offered any freebies or special treatment of any kind. When it comes to pubs, restaurants, food and shopping we tend to take our custom to local retailers whenever possible – which explains why you will see reviews of shops like Grapeland, a specialist independent wine retailer, but not Threshers or Majestic which share the same road.
Whilst setting up this blog was, and continues to be, primarily for fun, we’ve also seen it’s audience quickly grow in the two months we’ve been blogging here. We’re delighted that so many people are visiting – below are the statistics thus far (click graph to enlarge):
We do have access to detailed statistics on how people find the site although the database only stores details of the last 100 visits. The following estimates should provide a pretty good indication of how people are finding this page:
We’re currently working on an advertising policy that will enable us to continue to write unbiased reviews whilst enabling local businesses, or those providing services locally, to advertise to this audience. More coming soon…

Hey this is good to see. I was bron and bred in St Albans but now myself and family have all moved out. However, I have many good memories of the town including working on the market on Saturdays and much time spent in the pubs!
Hi there
Please could you get in touch with me as I’m looking into the possibility of publishing a St Albans magazine in conjunction with the council, which has the sort of content you blog about, helping to raise awareness of facilities, shops, services and clubs etc. in St Albans.
I hope to hear from you…
Best wishes
Maggie
