Choose the part of town that suits your errands
Stevenage’s New Town centre around Queensway and Town Square has a different layout from the Old Town High Street. Both can be useful shopping destinations, while neighbourhood parades and industrial estates add specialist businesses elsewhere. Start with what you need and check the actual addresses.
Town-centre information can help you plan a visit, and individual shops provide the latest opening and stock details. If you want to combine several stops, leave time for the journey between the Old Town, central shopping area and places such as Broadwater or Caxton Way.
Find specialists for riding and repairs
Contour Cycles is an independent bicycle shop on Broadwater Crescent, with bike and workshop enquiries handled through its local team. Bike Stop on the Old Town High Street stocks motorcycle clothing, helmets and related riding equipment. Each serves a different set of needs.
For a cycle repair, describe the bicycle, problem and parts required before travelling. For motorcycle equipment, ask about sizes, fitting and stock for the item you want. A specialist enquiry or fitting may need more time than a straightforward collection.
Plan flowers, gifts and home projects
The Flowerpot is on Scarborough Avenue, and The Ivy Florist is at The Hornbeams. Give a florist the occasion, date, style and delivery or collection requirements. F.Hinds has a Queensway branch for jewellery, watch and related service enquiries.
For a larger home project, Kitchen Ergonomics has a showroom at Gateway 1000 on Whittle Way. Stevenage Plumbing Supplies is on Caxton Way, while Watts Roofing Supplies’ Stevenage branch is in Todds Green. Bring measurements or plans where relevant and contact the correct business about stock, design and visiting arrangements.
Make a visit practical
Check whether a business operates as a shop, showroom, workshop or appointment-based service. Ask about opening, accessibility, collection and delivery before setting out for a particular product. A nearby postal address does not necessarily mean the premises are in the main town centre.
Use the directory to group useful stops and find somewhere for a break. For bespoke products or specialist repairs, contact the team with photographs or specifications so it can explain what is possible. Keep delivery coverage separate from the location you need to visit.
