Reading Riverworks is a landmark riverside residential development located in central Reading, set along the banks of the River Thames. Developed by Berkeley Group, the project forms part of a major regeneration area and offers a rare opportunity to live in a prime waterfront location within walking distance of Reading Station and the town centre.
Combining landscaped open spaces with excellent transport connectivity, Reading Riverworks appeals to both owner-occupiers and investors seeking long-term value in one of the UK’s fastest-growing regional cities.
Reading Riverworks offers a selection of modern apartments designed for contemporary urban living:
Homes are arranged across multiple buildings and phases, many benefiting from riverside surroundings and access to landscaped communal spaces.
Reading Riverworks is ideally suited for professionals working in London and the Thames Valley, supported by fast Elizabeth Line and rail connections. Its proximity to the University of Reading and direct rail access to Oxford also attracts academics and students.
The development appeals to tenants seeking central, riverside living, as well as investors targeting long-term rental demand in a growing regional city with limited prime waterfront supply. Strong transport links, education access and regeneration-led growth support consistent demand and long-term value.
Reading Riverworks is positioned in the heart of Reading, a major commercial and technology hub west of London. The area benefits from ongoing regeneration, a strong employment base and excellent lifestyle amenities, making it one of the most attractive regional cities for residential demand outside the capital.
Reading Station provides National Rail and Elizabeth Line services with direct connections to London, Heathrow Airport and the wider Thames Valley region.

What is Stamp Duty?
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax you might have to pay if you buy a property in England or Northern Ireland but you’ll only have to pay it if the house you’re buying is over a certain price. If you’re buying a residential property or piece of land in England or Northern Ireland, you’ll have to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if your purchase is over the threshold of £125,000.
Eligible first-time buyers will pay no Stamp Duty on properties costing up to £300,000, and a discounted rate on property purchases up to £500,000.
Stamp Duty rates changed on 1 April 2025.
Our Stamp Duty calculator lets you know the amount of tax you’ll be liable to pay. It’ll work out how much Stamp Duty you’ll owe, whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving home, or buying an additional property.
