Sonning Common is a large village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, sitting on the edge of the Chilterns with surrounding woodland and open common land. It grew from shared grazing ground into a substantial residential community during the 20th century and serves as a commuter hub for nearby centres such as Reading and Henley-on-Thames.
Today the village retains a lively community spirit, with local shops, pubs, a health centre, school and sports clubs, together with pleasant walks and viewpoints over the River Thames valley; active village societies and conservation projects help protect green spaces while small businesses and local services sustain a mixed, largely residential economy.
