Discover the Treasures of Reading Museum

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, head towards Reading town center. Use the M4 motorway and take exit 11 for Reading. Merge onto the A33, then follow signs for Reading. Continue on the A33 until you reach the roundabout at the junction with the A4. Take the first exit onto the A4, staying on the dual carriageway. Follow the A4 and take the exit for the town center, following signs for Blagrave Street. There is limited parking near the museum, so check for nearby car parks such as the Oracle Shopping Centre or the Civic Centre car park, which may incur a parking fee.

• Train

  If you're traveling by train, take a train to Reading Station, which is well connected from various locations in Berkshire and beyond. Once you arrive at Reading Station, exit the station and head towards the town center. You can walk to the museum from the station, which is about a 10-15 minute walk. Exit the station and head straight down Station Road, cross the pedestrian bridge, and continue onto Broad Street. Turn left onto Blagrave Street, and the museum will be on your right. The walk is straightforward, and there are clear signs directing you to various attractions.

• Bus

  For those using public bus services, multiple bus routes connect to Reading town center. Look for buses that stop at the Reading Town Hall or Broad Street. Once you disembark, walk towards Blagrave Street. The museum is only a short distance away from these stops. Bus fares vary depending on the provider, so check local services like Reading Buses for the latest information.

• Bike

  Biking is another great option if the weather permits. Reading has several bike lanes and bike-sharing schemes available. If you rent a bike, you can cycle to the museum from various locations in the town. Use Blagrave Street as your main route, which is accessible for cyclists. Ensure you have a bike lock as you'll need to secure your bike when you arrive.
