Caversham Heights is a leafy, largely residential ward on the north‑eastern edge of Reading in Berkshire, sitting above the River Thames with pleasant views towards the town centre. The built environment is a mix of early 20th‑century and later housing, with wide streets, small shops and pockets of green space, and good bus and road links for commuters into Reading and beyond.
The area’s identity is tied to the nearby Caversham Park estate and the older riverside suburb of Caversham, which was historically in Oxfordshire before becoming part of Reading. Many residents work in Reading’s thriving commercial and tech sectors across the Thames Valley, while local schools, community groups and pubs give the ward a settled, family‑oriented feel.
