Farnborough Town

About

Farnborough Town forms the commercial and administrative heart of the Rushmoor borough. The area is centred around the Queensmead shopping precinct and the civic offices, with a mix of retail units, supermarkets, and service businesses. Its street pattern is largely defined by the A325, a major north-south route, which brings a steady flow of traffic through the centre. Residential streets, primarily consisting of terraced and semi-detached housing from the 20th century, extend outwards from this core.

A defining characteristic is the area's deep historical connection to aviation, anchored by the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust museum on the historic Royal Aircraft Establishment site. This legacy continues with the nearby Farnborough Airport, a key business aviation hub. The residential neighbourhoods are practical and well-connected, with several parks and green spaces like Southwood Park providing local recreation. The area functions as a practical urban centre for the wider borough.
