The road continues northwards passing the estate of Carpenders Park on its western side. There is also a cemetery here. 2 miles after crossing into Hertfordshire, the road enters the Borough of Watford. There is a pub, the Load of Hay on the western side and then a small green known as Watford Heath. The road swings eastwards and winds through the village of Oxhey, now a suburb of Watford. At Bushey Station, the northbound traffic runs straight on, whereas southbound traffic is via Chalk Hill and right into Aldenham Road . The road has now joined the A411 and passing under Bushey Arches at a roundabout and it becomes Lower Watford High Street.
