What do I need to know before moving to Reading?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Reading, they said...
"Reading is a vibrant city located in the south of England, close to London. It is a great place to live for expats, with a diverse population and plenty of activities to enjoy. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Reading is higher than in other parts of the UK, so budgeting is important. Public transport is good, with regular trains to London and other cities, as well as buses and taxis. Expats should also be aware that the weather in Reading can be unpredictable, with cold winters and wet summers. Finally, expats should make sure to research the local area before moving, to ensure they find the right place to live," remarked another expat who made the move to Reading, England.
