Plan Your Journey

Parking is very limited, so it’s best to come by bus, on foot, or by bike.

There are only a few two-hour spaces close to Holy Brook Nook. If you’re driving, the nearest car park is at Broad Street Mall, or you can find unrestricted parking on St Saviour’s Road and Holybrook Road.

If you’re coming on foot or by bike, it’s just a 6 minute walk from Reading Police Station on Castle Street.
