About

Redlands ward lies just east of Reading's town centre, primarily composed of residential streets with a significant student population due to its proximity to the University of Reading's Whiteknights campus. The area is defined by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside more modern apartment blocks. Its southern boundary runs along the A4 London Road, a major arterial route lined with local shops and eateries catering to the community.

The ward includes the open space of Palmer Park, which features sports facilities, a playground, and a stadium. A notable local landmark is the historic Royal Berkshire Hospital, one of the oldest in the country, situated on its western edge. The area is well-connected by several bus routes, providing direct links to the railway station and broader town centre, supporting its busy, transient demographic.
