Location

One of the key areas set for regeneration is the heart of Stevenage, the Town Square. This area is at the heart of public life in Stevenage and provides an important place and space for residents and visitors to relax, shop and eat.

Stevenage is a major commercial and retailing centre approximately 30 miles north of London and is readily accessed via junction 7 and 8 of the A1 motorway.

The town centre benefits from excellent transport connections being situated on the East Coast mainline with direct services to London King’s Cross in 20 minutes and a short distance of both Luton and Stanstead airports.

Town Square is located in a prominent position within the Stevenage New Town close to the central bus station and within walking distance of the railway station.
