Since then the town has continued to grow and diversify, with a population today of 87,000.
Our location and excellent transport links mean that we benefit from a vibrant and diverse business community, ranging from world-class manufacturing and knowledge businesses (such as GSK, Airbus, MBDA, BMW, Fujitsu and more) through to fast growing innovation and technology-led start-ups backed by extensive professional services and B2B sectors.
The town is located just 25 miles from London and great rail links means you can get to the London King’s Cross in just 20 minutes, with trains running every eight minutes during peak times. And if your destination is further afield, three international airports within 45 minutes of Stevenage offer connections across the world.
Affordable house prices make relocation easy. Stevenage has been listed as one of the top ten most affordable commuter towns in the UK and offers outstanding properties that are close to London but significantly more affordable than other comparable areas. The town centre is home to many of the UK’s leading retailers and our regeneration plans will see further diversification of shopping and leisure opportunities for residents and consumers.
