Whitley is a residential ward to the south of Reading in Berkshire, England. It lies within easy reach of the town centre and the M4, and is made up of a mix of council and private housing with local shops, parks and community facilities giving it a suburban feel.
Originally a small settlement absorbed into the expanding town, Whitley today is notable for a diverse local community, active neighbourhood groups, schools and sports clubs; pockets of light industry and retail along the main routes provide employment and everyday services, making it a practical, community-focused part of Reading.
