Local area guide
Skip hire in Farnborough
Farnborough is a town in Hampshire, sitting on the Surrey border around 35 miles south-west of London, with a population of around 65,000. It was a small rural parish until the arrival of the railway in 1838 and the establishment of the army camp at neighbouring Aldershot in the 1850s, after which it grew rapidly. The town's identity, however, was fixed by aviation — Farnborough is the birthplace of British powered flight and has been at the centre of aeronautical research for well over a century.
The Royal Aircraft Establishment, which evolved from the Army Balloon Factory relocated here in 1905, became the most important aeronautical research institution in the country. It was at Farnborough on 16 October 1908 that Samuel Cody made the first officially recognised powered aeroplane flight in Britain, and the tree to which he tethered his machine while testing its engine — Cody's Tree — is preserved in bronze on the site. The RAE's wind tunnels, several now listed and preserved as the Farnborough Wind Tunnels heritage site, were used in the development of Concorde, the Harrier and countless other aircraft, and the establishment's investigation into the Comet crashes of the 1950s transformed the understanding of metal fatigue in airframes.
The Farnborough International Airshow, held biennially since 1948, is one of the two largest aerospace trade events in the world alongside Paris, drawing manufacturers, airlines and defence buyers from across the globe and generating tens of billions in orders. Farnborough Airport itself has become Europe's leading business aviation hub, handling private and corporate flights from a striking modern terminal.
The town has a second, unexpected historical layer. Empress Eugénie, widow of Napoleon III, settled at Farnborough Hill after fleeing France in 1870 and built St Michael's Abbey, an extravagant French Flamboyant Gothic church, as a mausoleum. Napoleon III, the Prince Imperial and the Empress herself are all buried there in granite sarcophagi — an improbable imperial resting place in suburban Hampshire.
Farnborough sits close to the M3 at junction 4 and the A331, with Farnborough Main station giving services to London Waterloo in around 35 minutes. Neighbouring communities include Aldershot, Fleet, Camberley, Frimley, Cove and Ash Vale. Housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian property around the older centre and Farnborough Street to extensive interwar and post-war estates at Cove, Southwood and Hawley, alongside substantial modern development on former MOD and RAE land, including the large Farnborough Business Park and residential schemes that have reshaped the town over recent decades.
