Private Rehab for People in London
Abbington House supports individuals and families from across London seeking private residential rehab in a structured, supportive setting in Hertfordshire.
Stevenage is approximately 30 miles from North London — close enough to remain within reach of family, but far enough from the pace and pressure of the city to make a real difference.
Why People Travel from London
Many people choose to access treatment outside London. Stepping away from familiar environments, routines, and social circles can create the space needed to focus fully on recovery. Most people who come to us from London tell us the distance helped, not hindered.
Travelling from London
Abbington House is straightforward to reach from most parts of London. Direct trains from King’s Cross to Stevenage take around 25 minutes, with frequent services throughout the day. By car, routes such as the A1(M), M25 and A10 provide direct access from across the capital.
We welcome people travelling from across North, South, East and West London.
