About

Wokingham town centre sits around the Market Place, a compact cluster of shops, cafes, pubs and independent retailers that lines Peach Street, Denmark Street and Broad Street. Market stalls still set up in the square and a 19th-century town hall mark the civic heart of the area. The town has a mix of everyday services — a library, a theatre and community halls — and pockets of older buildings, including timber-framed frontage visible from the pedestrian routes through the centre.

To the east the Emm Brook runs through the town and joins the River Loddon close by, shaping green corridors and small floodplain meadows used for walking and wildlife watching. Cantley Park and other open spaces offer sports pitches, children's play areas and places to sit. The railway station lies close to the shopping streets and supports commuting and local travel. Conservation areas preserve narrow lanes and historic plots, and community events and regular markets keep the Market Place busy at different times of year.
