Furze Platt is a mainly residential suburb of Maidenhead in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, sitting a short distance north of the town centre. It has a suburban feel of inter-war and post-war housing with a compact parade of shops and community facilities around the local station, making it popular with families and commuters who want quieter streets yet easy access to urban amenities.
Green spaces and the nearby River Thames add a rural touch, while local schools and sports clubs give the area a community focus. The name itself hints at older landscapes of gorse and small plots, and the neighbourhood is well served by Furze Platt railway station on the Marlow branch, with larger rail connections from central Maidenhead for journeys into London.
