LOCATION
The ancient market town of Wallingford owes its importance largely to its position being approximately mid-way between Oxford and Reading on the Icknield Way, at a natural fording point of the River Thames.

There are numerous period buildings of great merit dating from the 16th century onwards, notably the Town Hall built in 1670, the 16th century George Hotel (an old coaching inn) and the Corn Exchange, of Italianate design, now a Theatre and Cinema.

The town now boasts a population of just over 6,000 and is a bustling market town and popular riverside touring centre with a wide range of interesting Artisan shops together with a Waitrose Supermarket, restaurants and Cafes. Other facilities include a Museum and a Cottage Hospital and most importantly Primary and Secondary Schools.

There are excellent road communications for the surrounding important towns and motorway networks, with Cholsey and Didcot both having mainline stations providing fast commuter services up to London (Paddington) overall in approximately an hour via Reading.
Crossrail services have commenced from Reading, which together with the electrifying of the line has significantly improved travelling times to Paddington and central London destinations.
