Living in Slough

Slough is a large town in Berkshire, England (within the historic county of Buckinghamshire), 20 miles (32 km) west of central London (Charing Cross) and 19 miles (31 km) north-east of Reading. It is in the Thames Valley and within the London metropolitan area at the intersection of the M4, M40 and M25 motorways. 

The A4 and the Great Western Main Line pass through the town. Crossrail provides connection to central London.

Slough's population is one of the most ethnically diverse in the United Kingdom, attracting people from across the country and the world for labour since the 1920s, which has helped shape it into a major trading centre.

Slough has many expats which means there is a lot of cultural diversity in the town's social life.  You will find plenty of varied restaurants that offer traditional cuisine such as Indian food, indigenous African dishes and spicy Asian cuisine.  For those who like outdoor activities, Slough is home to several outstanding parks like Black Park, Langley Park and Salt Hill Park.  There are beautiful parcels of land in these parks to explore with lakes, ponds, rivers and even play areas.  The Quensmere Observatory Shopping Centre has over 120 shops and a 3D movie cinema where people can have fun.
