Wokingham Travel Guide

 easyoar Says:  The Lucas Hospital is the only Grade 1 listed building in Wokingham, and is a bit of a secret even to a lot of the locals. These almshouses were started in 1663 and completed in 1666 after Henry Lucas left money to build them. They were built to provide shelter for the poor... 

 easyoar Says:  Wokingham is littered with old bits of history, and one of the more unusual curios is an old horse watering trough. It has a stylised fish built into it. As there is little demand for watering horses these days, it is usually used as a planter for flowers and bulbs. It dates... 

 easyoar Says:  A lovely redbrick Victorian building (also known as the Market Hall) in the centre of Wokingham and is probably the best well known of all of Wokinghams buildings. It dates from 1858.It is possible to get married in this building (should you wish to!), see the web page:... 

 easyoar Says:  Wokingham's Railway Station is little more than a glorified portacabin, and not worth a second glance.However just by the level crossing alongside the station are two old railway gems.The first is the pedestrian footbridge, which is a little rickety, but is a homemade mecano... 

 hamlettandrews Says:  The ambience is very authentic, although the business lunches and evening suppers feel very different. It's romantic for couples but also perfectly suitable for larger groups. The staff is very friendly and efficient, and happy to give you a little longer to make your... 

 PavlH Says:  A friend recommended this restaurant to me and I have to say that it's the most authentic (ie closest to food I ate in China) that I have found over here so far..It's a bit quirky - there are 2 evening sittings, first sitting finishes at 8:30 (no matter what time you got... 

 Ruthy2001 Says:  I had been told about Rossini's as soon as I moved to Wokingham. It was billed as the best Italian restaurant in the town so when my parents came down to visit I was delighted to be able to make a booking.However, although the restaurant has a really nice feel with friendly... 

 Ruthy2001 Says:  The Grill Bar in Wokingham is great for a group meal or a quick lunch as the food is quick and simple. The thing which makes it most delicious is the freshly made loaves of bread which you can choose as you enter which is then provided free with a large plate of olive oil... 

 Ruthy2001 Says:  The Sultans Balti house in Wokingham is really really tasty. They do massive Naan bread which takes up the whole table, the curries are always delicious and not greasy and the staff are always keen to help. If you want a good curry just ask them to recommend something to... 

 Ruthy2001 Says:  This is a fairly new restaurant, the atmosphere is lively and relaxed. All the waiters are/look Italian and have obviously been told to act like the stereotype so all the waiters are very loud and jolly which is quite a giggle! If its your birthday they have the whole... 

 Ruthy2001 Says:  Lets face it Wokingham is a small town and the shopping centre is not New York but it is a nice place to get bits and bobs and after London its nice to see shop assistants who look you in the eye and really try and help you find what you are looking for. The shop I have... 

 Ruthy2001 Says:  Berkshire is a very busy region, what with there being a great deal of industry and London being commutable distance. If you do want to get away there are some really nice parts of countryside. Twyford Lakes is a wildlife reserve where you can access easily by train or car...
