SITUATION
Caversham lies just north of the River Thames - close to Reading town centre, yet with a distinct village-like feel. It offers picturesque riverside views, scenic towpaths, and charming walks, along with a wide range of shops, bars, and restaurants. The area is further enhanced by excellent health and fitness facilities with the Rivermead Sports Complex on its border, and highly regarded primary and secondary schools. Reading's mainline station, within half a mile of Caversham Bridge, provides fast services to London Paddington in around 25 minutes, as well as access to the Elizabeth Line for direct routes into central London. Nearby Emmer Green and Caversham Heights lead into the South Oxfordshire countryside, with well-regarded golf courses and easy access to nearby Henley-on-Thames
