Poor Hemel Hempstead has gotten a terrible write up. I can understand why but in more recent years there has been a lot of work done and the area is on the up. Jarmin Park houses some clubs, a water park, bowling alley, arcade, ice skating, Empire cinema, fast food outlets and a 24 hour Tesco. The facilities are ok and seem to be slowely improving. The constant police pressence has brought crime right down. There used to be a dry ski slope next to the track and field area. This is now being replaced by a real snow centre set to open in April 2009. This is said to soon be Britain's premier indoor snow sports centre. As well as providing a real snow slope the centre will ...  Read the complete review

I don't know if I should admit this looking at your reviews, but I live here! And I'm going to stand up for Hemel Hempstead. We're quite a small town. There are lots of nice little villages here, I spent 21 years growing up in Great Gaddesden. There are lots of nice walks and parks to go to in Hemel. I now live a 10 minute walk from the town centre with my fiance and two young Daughters and we're all very happy. The town has been updated and now looks more modern. We now have a big 3 floor Debenhams, TK Maxx, H&M, Waterstones, plus more. Our River Island and New Look has been updated and looks really good. I can get ...  Read the complete review

My boyfriend and I visited the Peter Percy shop in Hemel Hempstead Dec 07 for a last attempt to buy a dress shirt for a black tie event we were attending that evening, due to the time of the year, every shop previous to this had sold out or didn't have correct size. The manager took one look at us (mid twenties) and brought out many shirts in the sale (because apparently being young clearly means we have no money and are only there to waste his time....) he was very unhelpful, condescending and seemed very bored with our requests. We tried our best to ignore this as we were desperate to get a shirt. Once we had found a shirt we liked, my boyfriend asked to try it ...  Read the complete review

I don’t live that far from Hemel Hempstead, So last week I decided to go there for a bit of shopping and just generally see what is going on there. Damn! Why did I bother? Marlows shopping centre: Virgin Mega (mini) store- only sells charts CDs and old videos, Staff are Argos rejects. NTL shop- do not buy anything NTL related or you will suffer for the rest of your contract. Clinton Cards x2- Why? Couple of sports shops- leading the way in mass market cheap sports clothing. Chitter Chatter- selling one2one products. Orange- yeah, if you want an Orange phone. Fake gadget shop- selling rubbish versions of Gadget shop goods ...  Read the complete review

Okay, here's what I personally think of Hemel Hempstead, in general. This was my first pit stop on my journey throughout England and Europe. It was extremely cold when I arrived, the squirrels would be running around and many trees were losing their leaves. It seemed such a lovely place... at first. Hemel Hempstead is the kind of place, if you were travelling, to be stayed in for a total maximum of two nights. It's different if you live here, it's close to London for work. I am stuck here through, shall we say, 'circumstances'. I've worked at 'Living Room', which is now 'Fusion', Ethos & Visage, ...  Read the complete review
