Energetic, surprising, inclusive and ambitious, modern Reading is a place where quality of life is more than just a sound bite.

Coming to the town today is likely to be a major eye-opener for most visitors. Reading is still very recognisable as Reading – only new and improved in all the right places: a university town that is home to some of the biggest businesses in the world; a leading shopping destination with mile upon mile of unspoilt Thames river frontage.
