When considering what I’d rather avoid in Reading, there are a few things that come to mind. Firstly, trying to navigate Reading’s notorious traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, is something I would prefer not to endure. The town centre can become incredibly busy, leading to frustrating delays.
Secondly, attending any event or visiting a location that has become overly crowded detracts from the experience. Notably, the Reading Festival can draw mammoth crowds, and while the music and atmosphere are enticing, the sheer number of attendees can be overwhelming for someone who prefers a bit more breathing room.
Additionally, while Reading has some charming pubs and dining venues, I would rather skip any place with subpar service or hygiene standards. Opting for well-reviewed establishments is always a safer choice.
Lastly, I’d avoid any activities that detract from the vibrant history and culture the town has to offer. Spending time on things that don’t enhance my understanding or appreciation of Reading’s heritage and contemporary charm would be less appealing.
