Striking architectural features and flexible floorspace combine in No.2 Forbury Place to create a modern and highly efficient environment. Ribbon-like vertical fins around the exterior of the building provide solar shading and subtly create an illusion of movement as you walk past.
The aesthetic of the building is further enhanced by its ‘diagrid’: a powerful diagonal form that provides unique visual branding. Inside, the stunning double-height reception creates an expansive vista and hints at the high quality of the finishes that extend throughout the large floorplates. Outside, the sleek modernity of the building is softened by landscaped green spaces and roof terraces.
The following images of No.1 illustrate the sort of high specification and finishes which will be replicated in No.2.

I was first attracted to Reading because it had so few restaurants, now I’m flabbergasted it can support so many! I fell in love with our site – 3 higgledy-piggledy terraced shops sinking into the riverside – back in 1998, and after a lot of renovation, opened London Street Brasserie in 2000. Reading’s such an inspiring place to be a chef because of the great local produce. In Berkshire we have some of the best meat, game and arable crops in Britain. And everyone living here is aware of how amazing our local food is. From real ales like West Berkshire Brewery’s Good Old Boy, to award-winning cheeses such as Barkham Blue and Wigmore. I’ve been cooking from our Berkshire larder since we opened, and it’s probably why our guests keep coming back for more. I’m also massively enthusiastic about Reading’s cultural mish-mash, particularly the vibrant ethnic shops at Cemetery Junction, where I buy African maize and goat meat. Bring on Reading’s twist on Notting Hill Carnival!
The Brasserie is coming up to its 16th birthday, and it’s been extremely motivating watching Reading continually evolve in that time. When we started there was no Oracle and no Forbury Place. And the town’s still developing – the University keeps growing, and the road and rail links keep more and more people and businesses coming in. Over the years, some of my waiters, managers and chefs have gone on to open their own restaurants and bars, and interestingly they’ve all stayed local. A testament to the local economy and produce, I like to think. Today there are over 100 eateries in town, including some fantastic non-chain bars and restaurants. Some of my favourites include Perry’s Caribbean Cuisine by the Marketplace and Thai Corner on West Street, and The Jolly Angler for a pint by the river Kennet. In summer, in between cooking lunch and dinner, I’ll often escape to Forbury Gardens and the Abbey Ruins to read the paper and watch the world drift by.

With so many transport connections for rail, road and air, Reading is truly a first-class business location. 200 trains go from Reading’s recently redesigned station to the capital every day. Paddington is only 25 minutes away, with trains departing as often as every four minutes. Once outside the station you can hire folding bikes through Brompton’s innovative new locker systems, which makes getting round town easy and fast. For those travelling by road, the town centre is under five miles from the M4 and Heathrow is just 28 miles away. A Rail Air coach service also departs every 20 minutes at peak times. With further convenient links to Gatwick, Reading is perfectly connected for business.

Only 25 minutes to Paddington and up to 16 trains per hour, that’s one every 4 minutes.
There are few towns that can claim the kind of impeccable transport links that Reading enjoys, which ensures stress-free travel for you and your clients.
London and its airports are on the doorstep, the west of England is easily accessible by rail or road, and there are further excellent links to the north and south of the country.
