What are transportation options and challenges in Reading, England?

Reading is a very busy town. It is very close to London via the motorway, this means that people tend to purchase homes in Reading where the prices are lower but are still in commuting distance to work in London. Reading has also been refused the title of City a number of times as there is no cathedral within its perimeters.

Someone moving to Reading should consider that it is at least 30 miles from London. Nevertheless, Reading has many great offerings. These include parks, shops, fantastic transport links, and a zoo. Reading is not as multicultural as London, but it has a community that supports equality. It is also possible to reach London from Reading by train.

Reading sits at the heart of the Thames Valley conurbation and so provides access to a very wide range of employment opportunities. Reading has exceptional rail links, to multiple Central London stations, and to destinations throughout England and Wales. It is the largest Town in the UK and so has outstanding retail and leisure facilities. It is within a one hour drive of six or the largest UK airports, including both Heathrow and Gatwick.
