It is believed to have around 90,000 inhabitants. The town is still expanding with plans to develop a new “West Stevenage” on the other side of the A1(M). The town centre is also being re-developed in the near future. Areas of interest in Stevenage include the Museum, the Town Centre, Stevenage Leisure Park, The Gordon Craig Theatre, The Plaza, Fairlands Valley Park, voted as one of the best free attractions in the country and Knebworth House, which is located just off Junction 7 of the A1(M).
If you’re planning a night out in Stevenage then the best bet would be to head to Stevenage Leisure Park where various clubs and restaurants can be found. The main clubs are Liquid and Envy. There is also a Chicago Rock Cafe and Jumpin Jaks. The cinema (Cineworld) is also located here. Elsewhere across the railway line is the Plaza which has Hoghead, Yates’ and Weatherspoons chain pubs.
