The verdict
Mixed · 52Thin and mostly off-topic content: a 2019 cost-of-living ranking, a shopping vlog and student vlogs, with little firsthand remote-worker insight, so the verdict stays near neutral.
- affordable cost of living relative to London
- easy access to London by train
- student-friendly atmosphere
- good shopping variety
- limited firsthand accounts of daily life
- job opportunities unclear
- cost data is dated (2019)
- Reading works as a cheaper base near London
- Little evidence yet on remote-work life there
- Student life seems central to the town's feel
- Question of job prospects goes unanswered
