The TfL journey planner suggests this as a valid route, and returns a £4.00 fare for Watford High Street, vs £5.80 fare for Watford Junction.

I was surprised that the 18.35 from Liverpool St would be so packed. but, then I remembered that, due to the Norwich in 90 vanity project, trains to places such as Clacton have been cut. There used to be an 18.48 from Liverpool St to Clacton, but, now, after the 18.35, there is a large gap...

I think they also did a similar thing, but visiting every cathedral in the country.
