Stevenage is a town in Hertfordshire, England, 28 miles (42 kilometers) north of London. Stevenage is located between Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City, close to junctions 7 and 8 of the A1(M). The New Towns Act designated Stevenage as the United Kingdom’s first New Town in 1946.
 
Stevenage is located near the line of the Roman road starting in Verulamium and ending at Baldock. During the building of the New Town, Romano-British remains were discovered, as well as a hoard of over 2000 silver Roman coins found while building houses in the Chells Manor area in 1986. There is only one substantial sign of Roman activity on Six Hills, which is a cluster of six tumuli along the old Great North Road, thought to be the burial places of members of a local family.
 
Stevenage continued to grow slowly until after the Second World War, when the Abercrombie Plan called for the establishment of a ring of new towns around London.
 
Near the residential parts of the town but separate from them is the industrial area. For many years, British Aerospace (now MBDA) was the largest employer in the town, but now GlaxoSmithKline owns the largest pharmaceutical research laboratory complex in the town. Astrium is a smaller but interesting company which, for decades (both as part of British Aerospace and its predecessors) has been manufacturing spacecraft.
 
As the first pedestrianised shopping area in Britain, which took inspiration from a similar facility in Rotterdam, the pedestrianised town center was officially opened by the Queen in 1959. A mother and child sculpture by Franta Belsky stands near the clock tower and ornamental pool.
 
Stevenage is served by the A1(M). The old Great North Road runs through the centre of the town and the High Street in the Old Town has several pubs that were coaching inns along it; it’s mostly now a B197. The A602 connects Stevenage to Hitchin, Watton-at-Stone, Hertford and Ware.
 
Several bus companies provide bus services within and outside of the town, with Arriva The Shires being the main provider within London. Other operators include Cozy Travel, Centrebus, Uno and Trusty Bus.
 
Located on the East Coast Main Line, Stevenage has regular commuter services to London and Cambridge, as well as connections to the North and Scotland.
