Caversham

Countryside charm, a village-like feel and all within walking distance of Reading’s vibrant town centre, makes Caversham a great destination while you’re visiting the area or even to move to like Beth and Andy.

NEWS: Caversham has been voted Best Place to Live in Berkshire by readers of Muddy Stilettos.

Sitting just north of the River Thames and Reading town centre, Caversham has bags of character. Its urban centre has a community feel, home to a decent shopping precinct, supermarkets and pharmacies, as well as a good selection of charming cafes, pubs and restaurants – many of which are independent. Check out ChooseCaversham for details of places to shop, eat and drink.

5 top tips to enjoy Caversham

Why not visit the Sunday Caversham Artisan and Farmers Market (10am- 3pm)
Restaurant-wise, Clays Kitchen and Bar has earned great reviews in national press for its Hyderabadi cuisine.
Records are alive and well - pop into Pop Classics
Stroll alongside the Thames in the historic Caversham Court Gardens
St Martin's precinct is home to both Vegivores and The Caversham Butcher. Plant or meat, the choice is yours.

Location-wise it’s bang on the River Thames, making it the perfect spot for a riverside ramble. Take a leisurely boat cruise from Caversham Pier or even trying your hand at water sports for the more adventurous. There are many activities on the water to explore, as well as the stunning natural open space at Caversham Lakes which boasts a private island, café and beach club, family beach, natural trails, camping, water activities and more!

If tranquillity is more what you’re looking for, Caversham is also a stone’s throw away from Reading’s renowned health retreat, The Lido Pool and Spa, with a 25m outdoor swimming pool, saunas, hot tubs and, of course, spa treatments. There is also a beautiful Mediterranean, poolside tapas bar and restaurant, complete with an open kitchen and woodburning oven - so if kicking back with a glass of vino is more your thing, you won’t be disappointed!

Heading uphill from Caversham’s centre, you’ll find plentiful character housing. Caversham residents benefit from easy access to a truly glorious stretch of the River Thames, a new pedestrian and cycle bridge connecting to Reading station and central Reading, and a good range of schools. Once you’re finished exploring the delights of Caversham, access to the Chilterns lies just to the north of the area.
