Despite dating back to the Roman times, Stevenage is now well known as being the first ever “new town”. These were a series of towns built in the surrounding areas of London following WWII. The town is divided into two, with the old town filled with quaint and unique shops, restaurants and pubs, and the newer side of town hosting a vibrant nightlife. It’s an ideal commuter town with fantastic links for those who love the buzz of London but prefer to live just outside of it. Located between Luton and Stansted airports, Stevenage has great onward travel opportunities to destinations further afield.
