Welcome to the neighbourhood
Apartments paired with an urban community that makes living in Reading a stand-out place to work and play day-to-day.
The place to be.
Living in Reading comes down to more than where you rest your head at night. It’s the people and places you surround yourself with – which is why Ebb & Flow’s apartments in Reading are proud to centre themselves in a town that does it all. Blending modernity with a rich cultural history, Reading has come a long way from its trade of beer, biscuits and bulbs – stretching back to the Industrial Revolution.
Nowadays, you can find a metropolitan hub situated right on the River Thames and Kennet and Avon Canal. Known for the iconic Reading Festival, there’s plenty on offer – including a bustling food and drink scene, populated with big names and fierce independents.
There’s something for all taste buds, from street food to fine dining, making it the perfect place for intimate dates or hanging out with mates. And for the shopaholics among you, there are a whopping three shopping centres to choose from, including a walkable high street packed with everything that you’ll need.
Fancy being part of our scene?
Dining and drinking
With a bustling gourmand scene boasting everything from cafés and understated pubs and bars to fine dining. Reading has something for all tastes.
As a result of its biscuit-making heritage, Reading has developed a thriving café culture. For fans of independent bites you’ll find a huge range of food markets selling local produce and food from around the world, running twice a week.
You’ll also be able to pick up tasty street food alongside Reading’s fine dining offering, including afternoon tea experiences to treat guests and unmissable food events held throughout the year.
Further afield, you’ll find award-winning country pubs dotted across the Berkshire countryside – perfect for complementing a pint with stunning scenery. You can even find breweries and vineyards offering tastings and tours, so you can sample the good stuff straight from the source.
Shopping
With a high street packed with renowned department stores, award-winning shopping centres and huge retail parks, there’s something for bargain hunters and luxury lovers alike.
If you’re on the lookout for a main stretch for shopping, head to the centre. There you’ll find a huge number of independent shops (including three indoor shopping centres) – packed to the rafters with top brands and lesser-known labels.
Experiences
Situated on the banks of the River Thames and River Kennet, Reading is a waterside town. This gives adventure lovers the chance to try white-knuckle watersports, or for those looking for a more relaxed afternoon, there’s leisure boating and riverside dining, too.
As well as resident events at Ebb & Flow and in Station Hill, there’s also plenty to do in Reading itself. As well as its headline festival, you can also explore a packed calendar of happenings all year round, with a rich arts, cultural and heritage offering.
From dining and drinking events to DJ nights, there’s always something happening on your doorstep.
There’s no place like Ebb & Flow.
