Location: Parking is on hard standing, marked from campus entrance on Shinfield Road, A327. SU728719
N.B. Road works in Reading town centre may make approaching from the North difficult and subject to diversions. Please consult final details on www.bko.org.uk for more details and prior to the event in the case of poor weather conditions.
Local Travel:
If you are travelling to the event from the north your journey may be affected by diversions caused by works to the Paddington railway line. This involves replacing the rail bridge over Caversham Road so this will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians between Tudor Road (Station Hill) and Caversham Road on New Year’s Day. During the closure a diversionary route will be put in place via Vastern Road.
For more information, residents are asked to call Network Rail's dedicated 24-hour Helpline on 08457 114141 or email
