  The centre of town is dotted with pleasant green spaces such as Herschel Park, Salt Hill Park and Upton Court Park, while you can learn about the local area’s past, present and future at Slough Museum. There’s more culture on the southern bank of the Jubilee River in the form of the Eton College Natural History Museum and Eton Museum of Antiquities, while Windsor Castle is a little further south across the Thames. 
  
  You can enjoy views of the famous royal residence from nearby meadow, The Brocas, while Black Park Country Park to the north of town is home to an adventure centre with a treetop rope course. From walks and bike rides alone the Grand Union Canal to a collection of large local reservoirs, Colne Valley Regional Park and the sprawling woodland of the Burnham Beeches, the Chiltern Hills are also only a short drive from Slough. If you have kids, Thorpe Park is nearby too and perfect for a family day out.

• How are the Slough transport links?

  Slough has excellent transport links, starting with its convenient location just five miles from Heathrow Airport. The M4 motorway passes just to the south of town, which has a central train station off Stoke Road. Direct services to London Paddington take just 15 minutes, while Crossrail’s Elizabeth line also connects Slough to places like Reading and Maidenhead, as well as a range of stops in the heart of the capital. 

• What is the Slough property scene like?

  The arrival of Crossrail gave a massive boost to Slough’s property market, although local housing is still much more affordable than most places inside the M25 boundary. In fact, average prices in town are hundreds of thousands of pounds cheaper than the London average.
