By admin | July 17, 2008
Maidenhead is a fairly affluent area. House prices are amongst the highest in the country, owing partly to the good transport links to London. It is one of the safest Conservative seats in the UK. The MP is the Shadow Leader of the House, Theresa May.
Maidenhead is on the main rail and road routes between London and Reading. It lies on the famous Great Western Railway, famously designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Maidenhead train station lies immediately between the Twyford and Taplow stations. If you’re in London you will need to get to London Paddington to get a train westward to Maidenhead. Maidenhead is situated on the 8/9 Junction on the M4.
