Premier Inn Wokingham

Definitely. Wokingham is a historic Berkshire market town with a relaxed pace but plenty to explore. It’s ideal for visitors looking to combine quaint streets and independent shops with access to the countryside. From leisurely walks in California Country Park or Dinton Pastures to family fun at places like Holme Grange Craft Village, there’s a mix of nature and history. It’s also great for foodies, with plenty of cafes, pubs and restaurants to try. Wokingham is also a great base for exploring nearby towns like Reading and Windsor. 

The closest city is Reading, just 8 miles away. It’s a major hub for shopping, dining and entertainment and can be reached by train in around 10–15 minutes. London is also within easy reach – trains to Waterloo take about 1 hour, making Wokingham a great spot for those wanting a quieter stay while still being well connected to the capital.

Wokingham is known for its history as a market town, dating back to the 13th century. It once had a thriving industry in bell making and silk production, and you can still see evidence of its heritage in the well-preserved town centre buildings. In modern times, Wokingham has built a reputation for its quality of life – often being listed among the best places to live in the UK – thanks to its green spaces and welcoming atmosphere. Events like the Wokingham May Fayre and Winter Carnival also draw plenty of visitors.

Wokingham is on the South Western Railway line, providing direct access to London Waterloo via towns like Bracknell and Richmond. It’s also served by Great Western Railway, which connects to Reading, Guildford, and Gatwick Airport. This means you’ve got quick access to the Thames Valley, the south coast and London — perfect for day trips or business travellers.

Yes, and it’s a great one. Wokingham’s town centre blends historic buildings with modern developments. The recently revitalised area around Peach Place includes stylish cafes, shops and open seating areas, while Rose Street and Denmark Street are lined with independent businesses and family-run eateries. The town also has a lively market on selected days and seasonal events throughout the year. It’s compact enough to explore on foot, with plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat or a coffee.

Wokingham has something for everyone. You can enjoy long walks or picnics in California Country Park, explore the lakes and wildlife at Dinton Pastures or head over to Nirvana Spa for some proper relaxation.

For active days out, try Wokingham Superbowl for bowling and laser quest or check out Carnival Hub for its swimming pool, sports centre and theatre space.

Wokingham has a great mix of high-street favourites and independent stores. The town centre is home to fashion shops, beauty salons, homeware boutiques and bookshops, especially around Peach Place, Denmark Street and Rose Street.
