Regeneration Projects

Since the turn of the millennium, Slough has prospered enormously from large amounts of private and public investment. As London has become increasingly expensive to live in, Slough has begun attracting a large number of workers that can live more affordably but still be close to the capital. Furthermore, as commercial office space and business rates have become gradually more costly in London, companies are looking at alternative locations for their offices and workforce.

Covid-19 has only accelerated this trend as companies in London are looking for cheaper alternatives to the very expensive and often underused commercial space they rent in the capital. Although some businesses are looking further afield to cities in the north, many prefer to stay closer to London.

Arguably the biggest catalyst for Slough’s recent popularity in the property market is the aforementioned Crossrail project. However, on top of the extensive improvements to transport, key regeneration schemes have been driving Slough’s rise to prominence for many years.
