Several continuous villages form part of the conurbation, including Ash, Cove, Deepcut, Hale, Hawley and Tongham.

The wider agglomeration which includes the towns of Fleet, Lightwater and Bagshot had a population of 311,232 in 2011.[4]

Much of the conurbation is part of the Aldershot Parliamentary Constituency. This includes most of the area west of the River Blackwater minus Farnham, Yateley and Sandhurst.

The urban area also forms a major part of the London commuter belt. It adjoins the Reading/Wokingham Urban Area at Sandhurst making an even larger conurbation which the ONS does not consider one unit.
