Caversham Heights

Caversham Heights is a residential ward situated on the northern bank of the River Thames, connected to central Reading by Caversham Bridge. The area is primarily characterised by quiet, leafy streets with a mix of housing styles, from Victorian and Edwardian homes to more modern developments. Its elevated position provides views across the river towards Reading's town centre and the surrounding hills, contributing to its suburban atmosphere.

The local centre along Church Street and Prospect Street offers essential shops, cafes, and services. A notable feature is the presence of several large, historic houses converted into residential care homes, adding a distinct character to the streetscape. The ward contains recreational spaces like Balmore Park and is bordered by the Thames Path, providing access to riverside walks.
