Walking Tour of Reading, England UHD 4K | Oracle Shopping Centre | September 2022

A sunny weekend morning walk through the university town of Reading, Berkshire, England. The largest town in the UK. The town is approx. 40 miles west of central London, in easy commuter range of the City.
Reading is known for its annual Reading Festival, an outdoor rock music event. It is also packed with shops and riverside restaurants in the town centre and along the river Kennet. As well as being home to the University of Reading, with a sizeable student population.
We take a short relaxing stroll starting in the town centre on a normal Saturday. We visit the Riverside area and Oracle shopping centre first, then head through town. We also visit the Broad Street Mall and eventually head past the Hexagon, the Reading train station and onto the ruins of the 12th Century Reading Abbey.
Relax and join me as I explore the sights and sounds of Reading in 4k Ultra HD.
Please use the comments to ask me questions, tell me if I missed any important sights in Reading, or to let me know where I should walk next!

I think if you're a Londoner and feel suffocated, the best place to go imo is Heathrow airport, specifically the surrounding area as there is a lot of space and you can actually see the sky in the distance.

[@AmbientWalking]

There's something for everyone to see and experience on your channel. That is an incredible feat!

[@walkingworld6441]

Thank you so much! We are trying to share all parts of the UK eventually. It’s so much fun. 👍

[@aliced3524]

I can’t believe I lived in Reading and never visited the Abbey! Great video. 😊

[@walkingworld6441]

It’s pretty amazing. The whole site is huge and it’s just behind the high street, but is tucked away so if you didn’t know it was there you would miss it!

[@comptonsong1]

Reading is in Berkshire, not Kent.

[@walkingworld6441]

I don’t understand? Where does it say Kent?

Thanks for these videos! I was born and raised in Reading…living stateside now! The nostalgia is overwhelming!❤

[@walkingworld6441]

You are so welcome! I’m glad the video bought back some memories.

[@thavamalarkrajoo5138]

Thank you so much for sharing the lovely video 👍

[@walkingworld6441]

👍👍 No problem. I enjoy making them. You never know what you’ll see. Glad you liked it!

[@floweryy2090]

i have memories of approx. 5 years in this town and i visit this town by walk ...

[@angelignaciotorresmedina226]

I’m going to Reading soon. This video has been very useful as it has showed me the area where my hotel is and the surroundings. Thanks a lot!!

[@walkingworld6441]

Woohoo! That’s great to hear. I always hoped that someone would benefit from being able to find out about somewhere before they go. It’s good to know the lay of the land sometimes. Especially if your trip is short. Have fun in Reading!

[@keepgoing7533]

Drunk and in spirit form the handful of times I visited here in the past 1-2 years; is there any other way to experience a new place? Just walking: out to the ends where there is green spaces and then back to the centre.

[@Okukuseku247]

I'll be coming to UK, reading specifically very soon. Glad I found this video. Lovely places . Got to see through your lenses first. When I'm there, I'll revisit this comment.

[@walkingworld6441]

It’s even better in person. Hope your trip is great. Let me know! 👍

[@Saliha189]

So, how are you finding it in Reading? Like it? Hate it?

[@Samuels691]

Thanks! More keen to visit now

[@walkingworld6441]

You should! We love Reading! 😀

[@herbieshine1312]

Nice video and gives a good atmosphere of the town but I find it a shame that all walking tours only seem to concentrate on the main shopping areas and streets. What about walking along Oxford road, Wokingham road, Tilehurst road, walk Coley park area, Caversham, Caversham heights, Emmer green, Woodley. Walk along the Thames and Kennet and Avon canal. There's so much more than just the town centre!

[@walkingworld6441]

Great point 👍

Early morning, so not a true picture of the population, It's nothing like as nice as this shows !

[@walkingworld6441]

😱 I don’t know. I lived there for 3 years and quite liked it. I think this was the afternoon too.

[@masuzun6546]

I considered just visiting Reading but I'm glad i don't have to anymore. I don't feel like I'd enjoy that town
