Dist:0.1km north<br/>These late Victorian houses were built by the company founded by John Dickinson to house workers at his nearby paper mill next to the Grand Union Canal at Croxley Common Moor. The actual square is behind the photographer here, and this part of Dickinson Square is a through road between the Watford Road and New Road.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The penultimate station on the Watford line, and built in the same pleasing style as the terminal one at Watford. This station should not be confused with the now-closed Croxley Green station, some distance away and the terminus of a defunct branch from Watford Junction

Dist:0.6km west<br/>The Green viewed looking northwards. The Coach and Horses Public House, which is a Grade II listed building, is on the left. Note the fine old style lamp posts! The name Croxley is reputably derived from Croc's Lea in Saxon times, and the Green has been owned at various times by the Church, the Crown, and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. In 1945 it was sold by the College to Rickmansworth Urban District Council, and is now owned and maintained by their successors, Three Rivers District Council.
