QUOTE (Hugh Saskin @ Nov 12 2009, 05:44 PM) Or, to put it in another way, which town of comparable size and similar proximity to transport links, London etc etc, would you prefer to move to - and why? Henley Maidenhead or Wokingham. Although Henley is very beautiful it isn't that easy to park there. However it is far nicer to walk around than Newbury and isn't a permanent construction site. Wokingham has a massive ski slope thing and an ice rink. And parking. Same for Maidenhead, you can park and drive around easily. I have only had short (but frequent) visits to these towns so admit that there could be a downside that I don't see.

Maidenhead is apparently even more chavy the Newbury

Is it a minor oversight that one of Newbury's more interesting attractions has been overlooked in this debate ? I live here !

QUOTE (Branston Pickle @ Nov 12 2009, 06:29 PM) Maidenhead is apparently even more chavy the Newbury Are property prices in Henley and Wokingham on a par? Must admit that Henley is a lovely town but not really sure about coping with the traffic - or the Regatta, also didn't an innocent man get killed in the town centre there one night a couple of years ago by a couple of local blokes? Haslemere is very classy too, but a wee bit expensive. All commuter towns as well, something that Newbury isn't. Any work in Wokingham ? There must be very little in Henley apart from the leisure industry?

Henley has Bill McAlpine in Fawley Court - and I don't recall you inviting me to tour your back garden to look at such delights as his collection of Rolls Royces?

QUOTE (user23 @ Nov 13 2009, 08:20 AM) Henley's population is 10,000, Newbury's 30,000. Yes, and just been looking at a Henley estate agent's website - ye gods - £325k for a small three bedroom house. So looks like Wokingham is declared the outright winner?
