Farnborough, Hampshire Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• hawley woods, cove green,
• hmmm..cove green is where all the pikeys hang...generally avoided by anyone that is brave enough to be different and doesnt like getting yelled at for no reason!
• Everyone hangs out at the skatepark now.
• Brilliant new park near Farnborough Rec
• Moor road park, Hawley woods and the area around that.
• the small underground two storie carpark, its ok
• The UG or the Dutch Blocks.
• The u.g. (which will soon be a cinema) or the blocks are where the massive can be found most nights.
• goths n metlaz go to the benches outside iceland... skateboarders meet up at the blokkz near the benches
• Outside Alldays on Queens Road and in an alley way near it too is the place where all the kiddies hang out at night! Never quite understood why it is though that the girls dress up in little skirts and boots as if theyre going out and then hang round the streets like prostitutes!
• Alldays in Cove, near the "Fish Bar" this must be some kind of hallowed spot, come on, gangs of oiky teenagers CANT be wrong
• The skaters are not called the Farnborough Massive.....it is all the boy racers that hang out down Farnborough Gate, outside McDo's. The skaters are charmingly referred to as 'Townies'.
• There is a new top notch, super duper hook up spot, we call our selves the boro posse. are main aim is to make sure cove green is constantly full of our posse!!! people can join the boro posse by bringing as many people down to the green to play some football! At the moment there are approx 270 of us that arrive at the green on a monday night!
• Burger King Smoking Area if You are a grunger.
• The Abbey (or Dutch) Blocks are three concrete blocks, situated opposite Pizza Hut where the local skaters (lovingly referred to as the fboro massive) hook up to skate, so come down and help cause havoc (not really)
• The benches and strange metal airplane statue outside Pizza Hut.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
