When you think of places to visit in Berkshire; Windsor, Ascot, Eton or even Reading may come to mind. Slough may not even feature on your list. However, you may find this multicultural town, dating back to Norman times, to be a remarkably convenient base from which to explore London and the south-east of England.
Hotels in Slough are a lot more reasonable than in the capital for a start and with the town’s superb rail connections you can reach London Paddington Station in just twenty minutes. You are also only a 15-minute drive from Heathrow’s Terminal Five.
Slough literally means “swamp” and the name of the town is said to originate from a muddy mire near the original 12th century settlement. In those days it was known as Slo and went on to be known as, the even more enticing, Sloo.
In the 15th century, due to the town’s French influence it was called Le Slow, Slowe or even just plain and simple Slow. However, since the railway opened linking London to the west, Slough has been anything but.
