Popley is a largely residential ward on the eastern outskirts of Basingstoke, within the borough of Basingstoke and Deane in Hampshire, England. Much of the housing dates from post‑war and 1960s–70s development, with a mix of council and private homes, ample green spaces and playing fields, and straightforward road connections into the town and to the M3 motorway.
Locally there are small shopping parades, schools, community centres and sports clubs, and the area has seen pockets of regeneration and new housing in recent years. The ward has a mixed, community‑minded population and a number of active neighbourhood groups working to improve facilities and social provision.
