Sure!
To be clear, both the sites I'm suggesting are very close to St Albans - 10-12 miles north west, on the Chilterns watershed. But here are a few reasons why Suetonius may not have withdrawn further:

Suetonius withdrew south of the Thames. I have provided plenty of evidence for that and you have not given one credible reason to reject it.
If you cannot come up with a plausible argument to substantiate this silly idea that Suetonius went north, then please stop just asserting it as fact.
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
