Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Biggleswade

Biggleswade Worktop Information

Biggleswade is a market town in Central Bedfordshire, on the River Ivel, about 12 miles south of Bedford and 14 miles north of Stevenage, on the East Coast Main Line. The SG18 postcode covers the town and the surrounding Central Bedfordshire villages including Sandy, Potton, and the rural parishes of the Ivel valley. The town has held a market since 1227 and has a Georgian and Victorian commercial character around the Market Square. Biggleswade is home to the RSPB headquarters at The Lodge, about 2 miles east of the town in Sandy. The East Coast Main Line station gives the town fast access to London King's Cross in around 45 minutes, which sustains a consistent London commuter demographic. Average house prices in SG18 run consistently above the Central Bedfordshire average, driven by the London commuter rail connection and the expanding population from new residential development on the southern and eastern edges of the town.
