For those who want easy access to London but the peace and space of living outside a large city, you can’t do much better than Stevenage.
As a classic example of somewhere to live for the best of both worlds, the town is becoming increasingly popular with young people looking to move out of the city so that they can have more space and gardens.
At just half an hour from London by train, and with easy access to the A1 and M1, it has some of the best transport links of any town in the UK, making it perfect for regular commuting to the capital.
Stevenage’s popularity with London commuters means it is perfectly geared to weekend life, with a great selection of shops, bars and restaurants, as well as an excellent theatre and a cinema.
For those wanting to take a stroll, the beautiful Fairlands Valley Park offers a fantastic large area to explore. The town also includes a large golf course, a tennis club, numerous swimming pools, plus several gyms and sports centres. Together, these offer a wide range of different facilities.
Being a busy town, Stevenage has several primary schools, including Round Diamond Primary School and St Margaret Clitherow Roman Catholic Primary School — both of which are rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. Excellent secondaries include Marriotts School and The Thomas Alleyne Academy.
