Chells is a largely residential neighbourhood in the north‑east of Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England, shaped by the town’s post‑war New Town expansion. It combines mixed council and private housing with a local shopping parade, community facilities and a number of small parks and sports pitches, giving it a suburban, family‑orientated feel.
The area takes its name from an older manor and hamlet predating the New Town and today benefits from good road and rail connections - Stevenage’s mainline services and the A1(M) make London and surrounding employment areas easy to reach. Local schools, clubs and small businesses help foster a strong community identity, while nearby industrial and business estates provide much of the local employment catchment.
