Valley View is a small road off Goffs Lane, behind the main village shops. The entrance to Valley View is next to the Village Memorial Hall.

Within Valley View you will find a block of flats, the doctor’s surgery, the dentists, and the village Library.

The Library was opened in 1968, to replace a smaller, inadequate library that used to be situated in Cuffley Hill. Behind the library you will find the children’s playground and sports field.
