Reading is a large historic town situated in Berkshire on the River Thames, located 70 miles east of Bristol, 25 miles south of Oxford and 40 miles west of London. The regeneration of Reading town centre includes The Oracle centre, a large indoor shopping and leisure mall on the banks of the River Kennett, offering a selection of shops, restaurants, cafes and entertainment venues.

The town benefits from good road communications being on the A33, at its junction with the M4 Motorway (Junction 11).

Reading Rail Station, just 8 minutes away by car, provides frequent services to London Paddington (fastest journey time 23 minutes). The Elizabeth Line also connects Reading to London.

In walking distance is Reading Green Park railway station. The station serves the Green Park business area and the Madejski Stadium, as well as the Green Park Village residential development.
