Welcome
positively appealing
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.
We hope you enjoy discovering all that is best about one of the most surprising towns in the UK. Whether you are planning a short visit or thinking of relocation you will find all the facts you need on this website, and take a look at our short film to enjoy a real taste of Living Reading.
