1) Welcome to Southcote
Southcote is a suburb and electoral ward in south-west Reading, Berkshire, home to around 8,500 residents as of the 2011 census. Its history stretches from Paleolithic, Iron Age, Roman, and Saxon artefacts to its first mention in the Domesday Book as “Sudcote” in 1086, under William de Braose’s lordship. Once largely agricultural with gravel pits and rural estates, Southcote transformed post–World War II with planned housing estates—including Coronation Square—and key open spaces like Prospect Park and Southcote Farm Lane playground. You’ll still find historic canal features such as Southcote Lock on the Kennet & Avon Canal (dating from 1723) alongside modern residential streets. This friendly community hosts events like the annual May Fayre in Coronation Square, and groups focus around environmental care and heritage conservation. With excellent transport links—M4 motorway access, rail via Southcote Junction, bus routes, and canal towpaths—Southcote blends suburban comfort with vibrant local life.
