Reading

Reading was voted one of the best places to live in the UK for its work-life balance. Not only does the town have a rich history that's brought to life through architectural artifacts, but it's also part of the UK’s “Silicon” Thames Valley—a hub for some of the world’s largest technology companies. Even though Reading has plenty of dining and entertainment options of its own, its proximity to London makes it especially desirable. The Microsoft campus boasts multiple cafes and restaurants; retail and service areas such as a gym, nursery, and supermarket; and free perks like year-round drinks, and ice cream in the summer to help employees keep their cool.
