What do I need to know before retiring in Reading?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Reading, they said...
"Reading is a great place to retire for expats looking for a peaceful and picturesque town. It is located in the Thames Valley, close to London and Oxford, and is well connected by road and rail. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Reading is slightly higher than the UK average, but there are plenty of affordable housing options. The town is home to a diverse range of cultural attractions, including the Reading Museum, the Hexagon Theatre, and the Reading Festival. Expats should also be aware that the weather in Reading can be unpredictable, with cold winters and hot summers. Finally, expats should make sure to research the local healthcare system and find out what services are available to them," commented one expat who made the move to Reading, England.
