When most people think about the county of Royal barkshire they think of Scenic Countryside expensive Riverside homes palatial Estates and castles like Windsor Castle and centuries old Hogwarts like learning institutions such as Eaton college but 3 and a half miles down the road from where the king of

England layers head to rest and the Royal County’s Eastern Edge is slow the sprawling industrial commuter Town equidistant between London and reading famous for its overcrowded industrial trading estate and sky high crime rate despite having few redeeming qualities SL would always have a special place in

My heart due to the fact that I went to school and college there and so I spent a lot of time in the area I wouldn’t say that I learned to love it more that I learned to put up with it and spending some of my life’s formative years there

Was definitely good character building so I decided to go back the other week and take a walk around the main High Street at dark to see what it’s like once the sun goes down and to see how much the place has changed since back when I used to go regularly about

Six years ago so yeah let’s jump straight in we started off with the Eastern edge of the High Street the part that still has car access I thought I’d take this time to mention the good things about slow because all said and done it does have its benefits slow has great

Transport links and is well located along the M4 Corridor with quick and easy access to the M25 and M40 Bus and Train connections are great and the new addition of the Elizabeth line which opened in the May of 2022 only serves to increase its ease of accessibility heor airport is down the

Road with Terminal 5 being located just 20 minutes from SL Central and the nearby M4 Motorway means that on a good day you can drive to Central London in under 40 minutes and to reading in about the same time the industrial estate though it may be a bit of an Isa is the

Biggest in Europe and a major employer in the area with big multinationals such as maffy DHL and Lego having their headquarters there this combined with nearby hether airport and the enormous amount of shops supermarkets and small businesses in the area means that Slow’s unemployment rate is considerably lower

Than that of the rest of the Country big whips you may notice the amount of expensive cars that you see down Sou High Street like that white range River sport that just pulled away and we even spotted a G wagon towards the end so it’s not a bad place for car spotters if you’re into that I guess all

Those grammar schools in one area have produced a whole load of lawyers bankers and entrepreneurs that can afford such lovely Motors I can’t think of any other lines of businesses that the owners of these fing Vehicles could be involved in I 100 Grand car with the ranger 100 G car

SL High Street sl’s ethnic diversity is one of the highest in the UK and living here means that you will be exposed to all different kinds of cultures and people old and established communities include Irish polish Italian Indian Pakistani and Caribbean although now there are way more ethnic groups in slow

From all over Europe Asia and Africa they all bring their own Cuisines which means that you were spoiled for Choice with food options in slow and going to school or working in slow means that you get a well-rounded understanding of different types of people which helps

Grow an open mind and in my opinion is a valuable form of Education in itself Place England walk down High Street and not hear English and while we joke about how scary and dangerous slow is because well for the most part it is there are some fairly decent parts of the bough in

Areas such as Burnham zpam and Langley look like typical standard commuter belt Suburbia with less of an inner city ghetto feeli than you get in places like chvi and slous Central these quiet and leafy outskirts or the barus fringes aren’t bad places to raise a family and excellent grammar schools all over the

Burrow were a big plus as Well serious you heard English once huh you heard English once no you actually no I did once one couple here you got the legendary Chicken Delight with the like every not every day but like most days after school um if you want great quality fried chicken that’s definitely not

Pigeon then yeah get yourself down to Chicken Delight so many barber shops here observ I used he does that t Valley now what do you mean t t Valley Athletics oh yeah there like he just has a r in there really yeah yeah they do like if you

Die but it’s well on its way

  1. Same old same old in every town from Inverness to Penzance. Chicken shops, Betting shops, Turkish barber shops, Ethnic restaurants, Phone shops, Charity shops and Pound shops. More people, more dirt, more grime, more rubbish. Less greenery, less class, less original architecture and less English language – 3:34 All the Cinemas, Debenhams, BHS's, Markets, Butchers, Bakers and individual bric a brac shops have been replaced. I travel the country extensively and it's sadly the same everywhere. We've been turned into a third world shi* hole.

  2. Doesn't look too horrific,to be fair! Have you ever been to the Scunthorpe town centre in Lincolnshire! I've been all over England,& ScuMthorpe lives up to its name! Way more grim than nearby Doncaster! 😂😂 England still has lots of beautifully kept town & cities though,Bury St Edmund's in Suffolk is nice,as well as Southwold,a seaside town in Suffolk. Harrogate in North Yorkshire is very nice,as is nearbyish Ilkley. Durham City is nice & Newcastle is a great city,too! Shrewsbury,Hereford,Stratford-on-Avon are nice. Chester is nice,so are Sheffield & York! Grimsby in Lincolnshire is GRIM! 😂😂 Worksop in Nottinghamshire & Mansfield in Nottinghamshire quite grim! 😂😂

  3. Man, I hate big, stupid, ugly and dangerous cars used by arseholes who do not need performance cars or off-road capabilities to show off their "status" by demonstrating quite nicely how little they give a shit about the environment or the noise, congestion, ugly infrastructure and danger that they inflict upon others and then make them pay for it through income tax and VAT, all the while claiming that because they pay "road tax" that this public space belongs to them exclusively, and you should just be OK with having most of your street be set aside for the sole purpose of allowing outsiders to pass through in SUVs and obnoxiously loud performance cars!

  4. Slough has long had this reputation, but honestly having traveled and worked for three decades all over the UK, I think there are plenty of worse places. And without exception all the people I've ever met from Slough are good lads, friendly, helpful and a good laugh.
