About

Old Town is the historic core of Stevenage, centred on the High Street and the parish church of St Nicholas. The street pattern follows the original village routes, with narrow lanes leading off the main thoroughfare and a mix of small shops, cafes and traditional pubs along the frontage. Many buildings reflect an older townscape and there are visible changes in rooflines and plot sizes that mark the pre‑New Town village. The market and occasional street events still use the High Street and green spaces close to the church as focal points for the local community.

Woodfield lies adjacent to Old Town around Woodfield Road and connecting residential streets. It is primarily residential, with local shops, a community centre and playing fields that serve families and clubs. Local bus routes link the area to Stevenage town centre and wider services, while pedestrian and cycle paths provide direct routes into the Old Town. The two areas combine historic character and everyday neighbourhood facilities, so residents often use amenities across both districts without needing to travel further.
