Local area guide
Skip hire in Bracknell
Bracknell is a town in Berkshire, sitting around 30 miles west of London between Reading and Windsor, with a population of around 85,000. It was a small market village of a few thousand people on the edge of Windsor Forest until 1949, when it was designated as one of the first generation of post-war new towns to house families from bombed and overcrowded London. The Bracknell Development Corporation laid out a planned town of self-contained residential neighbourhoods, each with its own shops and schools, around a new central area — a pattern that shaped the town for the next fifty years.
Bracknell became a significant centre for technology and research. The Met Office had its headquarters here from 1961 until 2003, and the town developed a strong cluster of computing and electronics employers, with Racal, Honeywell, Fujitsu, Dell, Panasonic and Waitrose all establishing major operations. That gave Bracknell one of the highest concentrations of technology employment in the country outside Cambridge and the M4 corridor's other hubs, and it remains a substantial office and business park location.
The original 1960s town centre, long criticised for its dated concrete precinct, was comprehensively rebuilt as The Lexicon, which opened in 2017 and transformed the retail heart of the town. Bracknell's older fabric survives in patches, and the surrounding area is unusually green: South Hill Park, an eighteenth-century mansion, is now a well-regarded arts centre; Bracknell Forest includes Swinley Forest and The Look Out Discovery Centre; and Caesar's Camp, an Iron Age hillfort, sits in the woods to the south. The Coral Reef water park and the Ascot and Windsor estates are close by.
Bracknell station offers services to London Waterloo in around an hour and to Reading in 20 minutes, and the town sits on the A329(M) with the M3, M4 and M25 all within easy reach. Heathrow is around 20 minutes away. Neighbouring communities include Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Binfield, Warfield, Winkfield, Ascot and Wokingham.
Housing in Bracknell is overwhelmingly a product of the new town era, with large volumes of 1950s to 1980s estate housing across Priestwood, Easthampstead, Great Hollands, Harmans Water and Birch Hill, alongside older property in the original village core and at Binfield and Warfield, and very substantial modern development at Jennett's Park, Amen Corner and the large Warfield expansion. Much of the original new town stock is now well over half a century old, and the borough combines ongoing town centre regeneration with continued housing growth driven by its position on the western corridor.
