Sightseeing

Take in some nature, on the door step. 15 minutes walk away to the river. You can head right (East) into Reading and Caversham, or left (West) towards Pangbourne and Goring. Even better explored on a bike.

Essentials

Despite having a Halal butchers (yuck) this is my local green grocer shop. It is great value, (beats the usual supermarkets) and is stocked with an impressive array of beans, spices and everything else you might need to cook up an Asian or Caribbean dish. It is within walking distance, it has a car park at the rear, or you can take a couple of short stops on the number 17 bus, which runs every 10 minutes, and stops on Norcot road.
Exotic Superstore
