The village has an active social calendar, village hall and Montessori nursery, St Peter's Church and, in nearby Bentworth, a C of E Primary School and the Sun Inn. For the rail commuter, Alton links with London Waterloo - minimum journey time 67 minutes. In Jane Austen country, Alton has open air markets, individual shops, M&S, Waitrose, Sainsbury's & Boots stores, senior schools, Alton Convent, highly regarded Alton College, sports centre, fitness clubs and two golf courses. Notable local landmarks include private education at Lord Wandsworth College, gliding at Lasham, Jane Austen's house in Chawton, Gilbert White's Selborne, and trout fishing on the Itchen.
