About Reading: A Town Built for Travellers
Reading is the largest town in Berkshire and one of the busiest places in the Thames Valley, with great transport connections. Reading station is on the Great Western Railway, offering direct trains to London Paddington in about 25 minutes, as well as regular services to Oxford, Newbury, Basingstoke, Bristol, Swindon, and more. The Elizabeth Line also stops at Reading, making it easy to get to Heathrow and central London without changing trains. During busy times, taking a taxi is often the fastest way to reach the station, since the one-way system and Station Hill can get crowded.

The town centre is easy to walk around, with the Oracle Shopping Centre and Broad Street offering plenty of shops and places to eat, plus a riverside path along the Kennet. Just north of the Thames, Caversham is a popular residential area, especially for weekend walks along the Thames Path and around Caversham Lakes. South of town, the Madejski Stadium, home to Reading FC and Reading Royals, means taxis are in high demand on matchdays, so it’s a good idea to book ahead. Each August, the Reading Festival at Richfield Avenue also changes how people get around town.
For onward journeys, our Reading drivers know the A33 and A4 routes, the IDR and the town centre’s one-way system, the usual rush hour traffic on Basingstoke Road, and the fastest ways to get onto the M4 at junctions 10, 11, and 12. Wherever you need to go, you’ll arrive relaxed and on time, with a fixed price agreed before your journey begins.

Ports and journey details
Cruise luggage is usually bigger than what you’d take to the airport, so it’s best to pick your vehicle based on how many suitcases you have, not just the number of people. For example, a family of four with four large suitcases will need a 4-seater MPV instead of a saloon. The journey times below are estimates and can change depending on motorway traffic, so make sure to allow extra time before your embarkation or check-in.
