Five reasons to live in Slough
Let’s go home to Slough, where contemporary living and easy access to London go hand in hand.
At Deanfield Square, our refined collection of new homes in Slough provide a connected lifestyle and quiet local surroundings. Here are a few of the reasons why we think Slough is the perfect place to go home.
1. Unrivalled connectivity to London
Living in Slough is an advantage for professionals who require quick links into the city without the constraints of living in the centre. Our Deanfield Square development is located a short five-minute walk from Burnham Railway Station, which is vital for accessing the Elizabeth line.
From this point, residents can reach London Paddington Station in around 30 minutes, while the line also provides direct, high-frequency links to Bond Street, Canary Wharf, and Liverpool Street without the need for traditional tube transfers. For motorists, the M4 motorway runs directly through Slough, so you can reach central London in under an hour, while also linking seamlessly to the M25 and Heathrow Airport.
2. Greener,more affordable living
For buyers seeking greater value alongside high-quality, our new houses for sale in Slough provide contemporary, energy-efficient living at a price point significantly more accessible than comparable London postcodes.
And not only is the cost of living generally lower in Slough, but purchasing a brand-new home with us means your property is thoughtfully designed with long-term savings in mind. Our energy-efficient homes at Deanfield Square benefit from high-quality insulation, water-saving features and electric vehicle charging points. Together, these carefully considered features help reduce monthly bills while creating beautiful homes that are comfortable, efficient and built with the future in mind.
3. Plenty of things to do in Slough
The appeal of Slough extends far beyond its connectivity to the capital. From attending the races at Ascot to enjoying a private guided tour of the Royal Collection, living in Slough positions you at the centre of the region’s most distinguished cultural and social events.
Within the town centre, you can browse the shops and choices of places to eat at Queensmere Observatory or attend one of the various exhibitions and performances hosted at The Curve venue. Additionally, a short journey leads to Windsor Castle, the oldest inhabited royal residence and offers a look into Britain’s royal history, whereas LEGOLAND Windsor Resort promises an unforgettable day out for the whole family.
4. Easy access to rural tranquillity
While the town facilitates urban efficiency, Slough provides a more deliberate pace of life due to its closeness to the historic village of Burnham and the surrounding Berkshire countryside.
Burnham is defined by its Victorian architecture and bunting-lined high street, featuring established local spots like The Old Bell and The Bee, which offer a setting distinct from the intensity of the city.
Closer to home, local leisure options include Burnham Park and Cippenham Recreation Ground, both ideal for leisurely walks, sports and family time. Just a short drive away lies the breathtaking Burnham Beeches National Nature Reserve, where more than 220 hectares of ancient woodland and open heathland form part of the Chilterns National Landscape.
5. Opportunity on your doorstep
For many buyers, one of the greatest benefits of living in Slough is the potential for career growth and academic excellence.
Families living at Deanfield Square will enjoy an enviable location within walking distance of Burnham Grammar School and Priory Primary School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Older students are also well placed for higher education, with access to leading institutions across London and the nearby University of Reading.
Because of its position within the M4 corridor, Slough has become popular for business and innovation. At the heart of this is Slough Trading Estate; Europe’s largest privately owned business park home to more than 500 companies across a range of industries. As a result, Slough has been ranked among the UK’s best places to work, with strong average salaries of around £52,400, notably higher than the UK average of £48,500.
