Basingstoke
Basingstoke is a town near the River Loddon of England; it lies in the northeast Hampshire County. The town is almost 48 miles southwest of London. There is an interesting name "Doughnut City", associated with the town, due to a great number of roundabouts.

We are discussing about the old town of Basingstoke, which is an old market town broadened in the 1960s. The development was in due course, along with Andover and Tadley, for the accommodation of the overpopulation of London.

There is a mention of Basingstoke market in the Doomsday Book, the town had remained a small market town until the 1950s. The city had a population of 80,477, according to the 2006 census.

Basingstoke had been a great target during the World War II, and it had faced the worst kind of bombardment, which had destroyed many important buildings. Basingstoke town centre was completely rebuilt after the war.

It was the time of the replacement of many of the older buildings with the newer ones. There were made large red brick shopping centers and concrete multi-storey car parkings. Many office blocks and large estates were built, including a ring road.

The visit of the town would be incomplete, without having a look at the town's Willis Museum, the Haymarket Theatre. The town offers a great nightlife generally focused over the new Festival Square, and there is some of the traditional places on the top of town, with a few local community pubs outside the central area.

There is a famous leisure park, with the "Aquadrome" swimming pool. The park was opened in the year of 2002 for the public, carrying the ice rink, Bowling Alley, Bingo club and a ten screen cinema, as well as a restaurant and fast food outlets. The leisure park has a very popular Milestones Museum, with a network of streets and buildings based on the history of Hampshire.
