Camberley is a town in Surrey, close to the county’s southern border with Hampshire and its western border with Berkshire. It is part of the Surrey Heath Borough Council area. The population of Camberley is just under 40,000, while the entire Aldershot Urban Area has a population of around 250,000.
The town is also generally considered to be part of an informal area known as the Aldershot Urban Area, which straddles the boundary between Surrey and Hampshire and also includes the towns of Farnborough and Farnham. The area surrounding the town is also known as the Blackwater Valley. London is 29 miles away to the northeast, while Reading is 13 miles northwest of Camberley. Camberley is also almost immediately adjacent to junction 3 of the M3. Heading north-east into London, you soon reach the interchange with the M25.
Camberley, as well as being a good choice for those looking to commute to their working destination, is itself also host to a prospering business environment. Proof of this comes from the fact that some big businesses and corporation are based here. This includes the engineering company Siemens and the UK headquarters of American doughnut company Krispy Kreme.
Despite the potential for business success that already pre-exists in Camberley, it puts no halt on the town’s plans to continue developing. This ambition comes in the form of the Camberley Town Centre Area Action Plan (AAP). The Borough of Surrey Heath has stated its reliance on the success of the Camberley town centre and the importance of building on the success of the recently opened Atrium and the Square shopping centre, an overall hub for high-end shops, restaurants and entertainment facilities.
Therefore, the economic development of the town centre is the focal point. This means maintaining its current high-quality aspects, as well as improve its ease of access, wide-range offering and start-up business potential. For more information on the plan, take a look at the Camberley Town Centre Area Action Plan for yourself.
Business travellers staying in serviced apartments in Camberley should also be encouraged by the Council’s efforts to support local business. Whilst manufacturing and office-based (financial) businesses continue to be important, the local economy’s diversity enables a great potential for new businesses to relocate here, as well as the emergence of many new networking prospects and support schemes. For instance, the Surrey Chamber of Commerce offers wide-ranging support to both new and long-term businesses. This could be in the form of website enhancement, employment acquisition and marketing development.
For whatever reason you are visiting the town, whether it is for a small networking event or to relocate your company, just remember there are many high-standard, corporate Camberley apartments available that can cater for your business travel needs.
The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is where the elite of the British Army train to become officers. Many famous names have been students here, including Princes William and Harry, the First World War commander Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and even the singer James Blunt. Many people aren’t aware, however, that it’s possible to have a guided tour of the facility. Their open days are rare though, so keep an eye out for them. For creative types, Mrs Potts' Place is a real gem, offering pottery painting, glass fusing, sewing and other artistic activities.
Camberley is home to a large number of restaurants too. With a name like MT8848, it’s not hard to see that one of these establishments is inspired by Mount Everest, or that it serves Nepali food. However, it’s certainly been hitting heights for the last few years by earning stellar reviews from its customers.
The Atrium is the main town shopping centre, but you will also find several eateries here, although most of these tend to be the big restaurant chains. For more independent dining, you could do a lot worse than El Pic tapas restaurant, whose regular customers say it really is an authentic taste of Spain. However, it’s only a small restaurant, so be sure to book early if you want to arrange a meeting or a simple get-together with colleagues.
Ultimately, there's plenty to do here, and that's why we recommend a long stay serviced apartment in Camberley, to make sure you don't miss out on anything that the town has to offer.
