Kentwood

RG30 6 / RG31 6

Family-friendly

Kentwood covers part of west Reading between Tilehurst and the centre. Residential streets of mostly interwar and post-war housing. Prospect Park, one of Reading's best green spaces, is on the doorstep. It's a quiet, unremarkable residential area that suits families who want to be close to town without being in it.
