Driving in and around Slough
Slough is a busy town on the outskirts of the London. It offers almost all the same motorway connections as the capital - you can pick up the M25, M40 and M4 from here - with just a fraction of the traffic. So whether you’re travelling near or far in your van, Slough is a great place to start.
A trip to nearby Reading, with its numerous shopping centres, takes less than 45 minutes along the M4 westbound. Calcot Retail Centre is particularly popular, with a great array of big homeware and furniture brands including IKEA. In the other direction, the eastbound drive to Heathrow Airport takes around 20 minutes.
If you need to venture into central London, it’s a great idea to plan your route in advance. Usually the M40 or A40 will be the fastest option, taking around one hour from central Slough. The capital is renowned for traffic though, so make sure you leave plenty of time and double-check your route before you set off.
Standard speed limits in this region are the same as the rest of the UK. However, there are some areas of Slough where the top speed has been brought down to 20mph, in a bid to reduce the risk of accidents. Keep your eye out for signs to make sure you’re driving within the correct limit.
If you need to park up in central Slough, there are plenty of options available. There are numerous spaces at the Observatory Shopping Centre and a cluster of car parks close to Slough Railway Station too.
