Located in Hertfordshire between London and Cambridge, Stevenage is a town that represents a bold chapter in modern British history. Designated as the UK’s first post-war New Town in 1946, Stevenage was carefully planned to ease housing shortages and create a balanced, self-contained community. Its innovative layout separated pedestrian areas from traffic — a forward-thinking design still visible today in the town centre. Green spaces, neighbourhood hubs, and cycleways were all part of the original vision, shaping Stevenage into one of the country’s most notable examples of post-war urban planning.
Beyond its New Town identity, Stevenage has much older roots. The Old Town High Street retains a distinctly historic character, lined with traditional pubs and independent shops that contrast with the modernist architecture of the newer districts. The town is also closely associated with aerospace and technological innovation, being home to major facilities operated by Airbus, where satellite technology and space exploration components are developed. With excellent rail links to London, strong employment opportunities, and easy access to the Hertfordshire countryside, Stevenage offers a blend of heritage, innovation, and commuter convenience.
