Herschel Park is an electoral ward in Slough, Berkshire, sitting close to the town centre and benefitting from good transport links into London and the M4. The area blends leafy residential streets with pockets of local shops and community facilities, and takes its name from a restored Victorian water-garden that provides a surprising green heart amid the urban setting.
The ward reflects the wider cultural diversity of Slough, with a mix of private and social housing, schools and community groups active in local projects such as the park’s conservation. Economically it is shaped by proximity to Slough’s commercial corridors and employment hubs, while also experiencing the pressures and opportunities of regeneration and local planning debates.
