Shopping in Bracknell

Reading has independent shops dotted throughout the city, though there are some streets with more shops than others.

Broad Street is a main pedestrianised thoroughfare and the primary high street in Bracknell. The street is situated in the town centre, running for approximately 0.25 miles (0.40 km), from west to east. The western end of the road lies at the crossroads with Oxford Road, West Street and St Mary's Butts. The eastern end continues as King Street after the junction with Minster Street and Butter Market (Market Place).

Today the street is principally known as a shopping destination, being anchored at its east and west ends respectively by The Oracle and Broad Street Mall enclosed shopping centres.
