About

Caversham Emmer Green is a residential suburb situated north of the River Thames, connected to central Reading by Caversham Bridge. The area is characterised by quiet streets lined with semi-detached and detached housing, often set on leafy plots. Local shopping needs are met by a compact parade of shops and services along Emmer Green's main road, which includes a supermarket and several independent businesses. The suburb maintains a distinct, village-like atmosphere separate from the busier urban centre across the water.

The geography is defined by its position on the rising ground of the Chiltern Hills foothills, offering views over the Thames Valley. A significant local feature is the extensive Mapledurham playing fields, which provide substantial open space for recreation. The area is also known for its proximity to the historic Mapledurham Estate and its watermill, accessible via the river. Transport links include regular bus services into Reading, with the M4 motorway nearby for road connections.
