Description
Minster Quarter Central is situated to the south west of Reading station on the edge of the core retail area and is in close proximity to the Oracle shopping centre. The site is approximately ten minute's walk from Reading Station and offers frontage onto the Inner Distribution Road (IDR). It also bounds Castle Street and St Mary's Butts which are historic streets that once formed part of the Saxon Centre of Reading.
