Where is North Camp Village?

 

North Camp used to be the main shopping centre in Farnborough before Kingsmead and Queensmead were built in the 50s and 60s.

Roughly speaking the outline for North Camp follows Farnborough Road to Lynchford Road, down Park Road and Sycamore Road up to Boundary Road, where it comes back to the Farnborough Road. Other definitions take North Camp all of the way up to the Basingstoke Canal.

Some people will define North Camp as a larger area with some suggesting it's smaller.

There's also an article here about the definition of North Camp.
