Parking in Reading

The vibrant city of Reading has lots to offer from stylish restaurants and bars to the shopping hub of various designers and chic boutiques. Music, theatre and sporting venue, The Hexagon is a great all-round entertainment centre.

Reading began as a 6th‑century Saxon settlement named Reada ingas, meaning “the people of Reada.” Its position on major trade routes and near the River Thames helped it grow into a busy medieval town. Cloth production drove its early economy, and by the 19th century Reading became known for the “three Bs”: bulbs, biscuits and breweries. As these industries declined in the 20th century, the town attracted major companies seeking lower costs than London, strengthening its role as a key commuter hub.

Today, Reading offers more than convenient transport links. Visitors can shop at Broad Street Mall, explore local history at Reading Museum, and enjoy concerts, theatre and live events at The Hexagon, one of the town’s main cultural venues.
