What is Fleet Like? 

Fleet is the perfect home for anyone who wants easy access to London alongside plenty of open spaces. 

Nestled within the Hart district, which has previously topped Halifax’s Quality of Life survey, Fleet surrounds a traditional high street filled with fantastic independent retailers that sit alongside high street essentials. The same streets host a weekly market, and you’ll often see bunting hanging from the Victorian buildings that give the town a perennial festival feel. 

But while the village feel of Fleet might make you think you were far from the hustle and bustle of urban living, you’re within easy reach of a number of cities. You’ll find yourself less than an hour from both Southampton and the very heart of London. 

Not that you’ll need to get away, as there’s plenty to do in Fleet and the surrounding areas. Lovers of art and entertainment will adore The Harlington, Fleet’s art and entertainment centre, as well as the opera shows at West Green House. 

Nature lovers will enjoy long walks around Fleet Pond, Elvetham Heath Nature Reserve, as well as the many parks packed into Fleet itself. 

And when you’re ready for a night out after a day’s activities, there are plenty of independent restaurants and pubs to visit for a relaxing evening. 

Bars, Restaurants and Nightlife 

Fleet Road is the very heart of Fleet, so it’s unsurprising that much of its nightlife centres on Fleet Road too. 

Those looking for an evening’s entertainment should look no further than The Harlington, Fleet’s premiere arts and entertainment venue. Featuring jazz and comedy clubs, tribute acts, roller discos, 90’s nights and more, there’s bound to be something that tickles your fancy. 

For those looking for something a little different, why not attend an opera at West Green House? Just 13 minutes from Fleet by car, this stunning venue has been home to a number of performances such as La Rondine and La Serva Padrona. 

For those dining out, you’ll find familiar names such as Pizza Express and Prezzo on Fleet Road too. But you’ll also find a wealth of unique independent restaurants too. 

Trattoria la Casa is an independent slice of Italy in the heart of Fleet, offering traditional Italian fare for a reasonable price. Gurkha Square Nepalese Restaurant has been wowing its patrons since it opened in 1996. Specialising in Nepalese cuisine, as well as a few other East Asian dishes, the restaurant has earned a well-deserved reputation for delicious food and excellent atmosphere. 

Those looking for a drink in Fleet are spoilt for choice, but The Oat Sheaf pub is particularly popular due to its stylish interior and its relaxed atmosphere, as well as its outdoor space that’s superb in the summertime. You might also enjoy the Heron on the Lake, a waterside retreat that offers relaxed dining, delicious wines and Hertfordshire’s finest craft ales. 

And those looking for a late night will enjoy Zinc & Popworld, a nightclub that prides itself on good music and a welcoming atmosphere where you can dance until the early hours. 

Leisure Centres and Outdoor Activities 

Hart Leisure Centre is an excellent place to exercise, stay fit, and have fun. The new facilities include a 130-station gym, a fitness studio that hosts classes from HIIT to Pilates, three swimming pools, and a number of outdoor pitches including two junior FA grass pitches and four five-a-side 3G pitches. 

There are a number of other gyms in Fleet, including Physique Architect Gyms and Results Health Clubs. And if you want to make the most of the green spaces in Fleet, there are a number of outdoor fitness programmes available, including Bootcamp UK and Blaze Fitness UK. 

For a more relaxed activity, you can’t go wrong with North Hants Golf Club. Opened in 1904 by Princess Alexander of Teck, you can enjoy an 18-hole golf course or, if you fancy something different, enjoy lawn tennis courts and croquet lawns of the highest quality.
