Student Accommodation in Cemetery Junction

Student housing in Cemetery Junction, Reading

Cemetery Junction sits in East Reading, where London Road, Wokingham Road and King's Road meet. It's a popular spot for students because of the balance: cheaper than being bang in the centre, but a short walk or bus from both the town and the University of Reading's older London Road campus. Student housing in Cemetery Junction tends to be classic Reading terraces on the residential roads running off the main junction.

What's around Cemetery Junction

The junction is named after the old Reading Cemetery, and the area was well known enough to lend its name to a 2010 film. Day to day, you've got Palmer Park nearby with its athletics track and leisure centre, plenty of independent takeaways and pubs along London Road and Wokingham Road, and the Royal Berkshire Hospital a couple of minutes west. The University's London Road campus is right here too, home to the Institute of Education, and the town centre shops and bars are an easy walk in.

Getting around

London Road and Wokingham Road are busy bus corridors, so getting to the Whiteknights campus or into town is straightforward. The leopard 3 and other frequent services run along here, and Reading Station is around a 15 to 20 minute walk if you'd rather save the fare. For the main campus, it's a short hop south, and many students cycle it.
