Reading

Directly west of London, in the county of Royal Berkshire is Reading, also referred to as the Capital of the Thames Valley. Being just 35 miles from central London with the added convenience of the nearby location of the M4 and many modern facilities, Reading is fast becoming a much sought after place to live.

Reading is a lively, growing town full of opportunities. It possesses many facilities along with an expanding employer base, making the unemployment rate at only 2%. Much of the town is very recent including the many business parks and major business headquarters, and currently attracting many people to move with their work to the Reading area. This renewed interest in the town has had the knock on effect of better transport links, new housing and plenty of entertainment to give the area a much-needed boost that is now starting to pay off.

In the town centre The Oracle shopping centre offers a wide range of shopping.

The nightlife in Reading is busy, with many bars, clubs and restaurants, several of them built into The Oracle Complex, together with a cinema.

Reading also boasts several good schools for all ages, a College of Further Education and a University.
