For a town harbouring in excess of 20,000 residents (including neighbouring sub-villages), Yateley has relatively few amenities due to its proximity to several larger population centres such as Farnborough, Camberley, Bracknell and Reading. Therefore Yateley town centre is somewhat underdeveloped relative to the needs of its population and resembles the centre of a large village rather than a sizeable commuter town. The town still retains its 'village' hall which lies in the suburbs close to the library and Yateley School, away from the central district.

History

The name Yateley derives from the Middle English 'Yate' meaning 'Gate' (into Windsor Forest) and 'Lea' which was a 'forest clearing'.
