Reading is one of the largest towns in the UK and has the atmosphere and energy to match this. With many historic sites and an abundance of shopping options, Reading is ideal for a short trip from London or as a base to visit nearby attractions. This is what we recommend you do here if you only have one day.
Breakfast
Start your day off well with a trip to C.U.P. Speciality Coffee and Tea, around the corner from PREMIER SUITES Reading. This award-winning coffee shop can help you get your morning caffeine fix and grab a quick pastry so you can get your morning started early.
Being A Tourist
Why not get the lay of the land by taking Reading’s highly recommended walking tour. Run by a very enthusiastic local, Terry, the tour takes between 2-3 hours and is a great way to get to know the real city. Terry’s Reading Walkabouts are an ever popular choice with visitors and one of the most popular stops on the tour is to one of England’s oldest Abbeys -Reading Abbey. You will hear the abbeys royal history and how it is the burial place of Henry I.
Lunch
You should try some authentic Greek cuisine in The Real Greek restaurant located close to PREMIER SUITES Reading. The food here is inspired by the healthy European diet and is reasonably priced to boot. Take your time and enjoy a leisurely lunch the Greek way.
Shopping
Visit our quirky shopping district, Harris Arcade, for an original locally made gift or some chic vintage clothing. This market contains many independent retailers and one of a kind pieces you won’t find on the high street. Everything from vinyl records, tobacconists, tattoos and comic books can be found here, something very unique indeed.
Dinner And Drinks
One of our favourites for dinner and drinks would have to be Valpy Street Bar and Bistro. This is another independent establishment so you can be sure you are helping out the local community. Their menu is French inspired and the wine list is vast and inspired. Booking a table is recommended though as it can get quite busy here.
Stay with PREMIER SUITES Reading to be right in the middle of the action. Enjoy a ‘home from home’ experience in one of our stylish and central apartments, conveniently located close to all of the main sights and attraction in Reading. Book direct for the best price and to avail of our special offers.
