Crown House puts you within easy reach of all that Reading has to offer. Shop until you drop at The Oracle mall, then stop to refuel at one of its picturesque riverside eateries. Wander along the banks of the Kennet and Avon canal, taking a detour to historic sights like Reading Gaol and Reading Abbey as you go. With alternative music and theatre venue South Street Arts Centre nearby and a bevy of popular student bars within walking distance, you’re at the heart of Reading’s cultural scene.

With the university’s London Road campus just a five minute walk away, getting to class from Crown House is easy. Whiteknights campus is close, too - just a 15 minute walk, or a short hop on the uni bus. There are several bus stops on your street that will take you wherever you want to go, although most places of interest are within walking distance.

Regardless of the room you choose, freshen up before an early morning lecture with a hot shower in your private bathroom; or unwind at the end of the day on your comfy double bed. Unlimited free Wi-Fi makes it easy to research a paper at your designated study area; or bounce ideas off friends in the property’s communal work space.

When you’re finished working, the common room is a great place to relax and meet up with your housemates. Brush up on your pool and table tennis skills, or simply curl up on the comfy sofas in front of the TV. Shared and private kitchens are equipped with everything you need to cater for yourself, and with a supermarket directly next door, you won’t have to go far to find ingredients.

Taking care of practicalities is easy at Crown House. There’s an onsite laundry, meaning you’ll never have to go without clean clothes; while all-inclusive billing makes it easy to keep track of your payments. Best of all, with 24-hour security and a secure door entry system, you’ll always feel safe in your new home.
