About

Maidenhead Central sits where the High Street meets the River Thames, with the railway station a short walk from the shopping streets. The town centre combines civic functions, shops and commuter facilities around the junctions of Bath Road (A4) and the main shopping thoroughfares. Maidenhead station is on the Great Western main line and is served by both local and longer-distance services, providing a clear transport link into London and Reading. Regular markets and weekday activity cluster around the pedestrianised sections of King Street and the small arcades off the High Street.

The riverside is an immediate part of the central area: the Thames towpath, river stairs and small islands are within easy reach of the shopping core. Ray Mill Island and Boulter’s Lock sit alongside the town and the road bridge crosses the river at the heart of town. The railway bridge nearby is notable for its very flat brick arches, visible from the river and towpath. Riverside cafés, a few civic green spaces and the mixture of retail and office uses define the central stretch of Maidenhead.
