Oxford Road Inquiry
I’m considering moving to England by next August or September and have come across a beautiful shared house on Oxford Road. While I’m not fully committed to relocating to Reading, I’ve come across some concerning reviews about the area, particularly regarding Oxford Road.
Is it really as unsafe and problematic as some people suggest? Are issues with drugs and gangs prevalent there? I would appreciate any insights or experiences you can share.
Thank you!
