Knebworth

Most people know Knebworth as the field where Queen played their last gig with Freddie Mercury, which is like knowing someone only from their stag do. The village itself is the sensible bit by the station, built because Lord Lytton talked the railway into running through his grounds, and it has been commuting off that favour ever since. When the park next door fills with a crowd singing along to somebody famous, the residents do what they do best and check the trains.
