Slough, Administrative borough in Berkshire, England
Slough is a borough in Berkshire that sits between London and Reading, mixing residential neighborhoods with business parks and manufacturing areas. The town spreads along the M4 motorway, which runs through the center of the town and shapes its modern structure.
Slough began as a small village but transformed into an industrial hub after 1920 when the Slough Trading Estate was built. This business park became Europe's largest privately owned industrial zone and shaped the town's growth.
The population of 158,500 residents represents multiple ethnic groups, with Asian communities making up nearly half of the total inhabitants according to the 2021 census.
The town has six railway stations offering connections to London Paddington in around 20 minutes, and Heathrow Airport sits close by to the southeast. These transport links make it easy to visit by train or explore the broader region.
The town hosts headquarters of many international companies, making it a major business center beyond central London. This concentration of large corporate offices sets it apart as a destination for those interested in modern commerce.
