Aldershot (/ˈɔːldərʃɒt/ AWL-dər-shot) is a town in the Rushmoor district, Hampshire, England. It lies on heathland in the extreme north-east corner of the county, 31 mi (50 km) south-west of London.

Aldershot is known as the Home of the British Army, a connection which led to its rapid growth from a small village to a Victorian town.[3]
