Recently revealed as the most multicultural population in Britain, Slough has an impressive selection of restaurants and bars to discover. Rickshaw Road and Kashmiri Karahi are two local favourites, whilst a short drive out of the centre leads you to more fine dining options in the form of Gilbey’s and Humphrey’s. The increasing number of high-quality eateries is further proof of Slough’s ever-evolving journey.
In the heart of Slough sits the town’s iconic cultural centre, The Curve, a brand new library, café, museum, performance venue, and exhibition space. Here, the creative industries are celebrated through Slough Arts Forum and Spark Festival, highlighting Slough’s commitment to the arts, whilst recognising the beneficial impact it has on the local community.
Elsewhere in the town centre, Empire Cinema is the place to go for the latest Hollywood blockbusters, and for those feeling slightly more adventurous, Slough Ice Arena is a great family outing, as is Absolutely Ten Pin bowling alley, and for days when you need a little R&R, there’s a choice of spas to unwind in.
Shattering a greying myth, Slough’s urban fabric is made up of countless green spaces. Here the possibilities for relaxation, and outdoor exercise, are endless with the town boasting three Green Flag parks to explore. Salt Hill Park, Herschel Park and Pippins Park are natural landscapes that only add to Slough’s allure as a prosperous town to make a home.
Slough’s town centre has been completely transformed by The Curve library and cultural centre. If you’re more of a shopaholic than a culture vulture, there’s the regenerated high street and Queensmere Observatory Shopping Centre, ready for you to shop until you drop.
Home to 4,600 businesses, Slough boasts the highest concentration of global corporate HQ’s outside of London. The growing population, thriving economy and outstanding transport links have transformed the town into one of the country’s most favourable places to live and work.
Major occupiers include O2, HTC, McAfee, Fiat, Reckitt Benckiser, Akzo Nobel and Black & Decker, who all recruit from Slough’s multitalented pool of workers. Slough is booming.
