The market town of Reading is situated in Berkshire, in the southern part of England. It serves as an important centre for commerce in the Thames Valley. The city was once a camp-site established by the Danes in the 800s; afterwards, it flourished as a religious and commercial centre. It has two rivers flowing through it; the Kennet and Thames rivers. During the Elizabethan era, the town was Berkshire’s cultural centre and its most beautiful part. Despite Reading’s size and being the largest town in the UK, it still hasn’t received city status.
