🇬🇧 Reading, UK: A Charming Blend of History & Academia

Because of a dear friend living here, Reading has become one of my favorite UK towns—small, quiet, yet rich in culture and history. Here’s your perfect guide to exploring it! 📍 Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ Reading Museum 🏛️ Houses Greek & Roman artifacts and a full-scale Bayeux Tapestry replica. The Gothic-style Town Hall outside is a photo hotspot. 2️⃣ Reading Abbey Ruins ⛪ Founded in 1121 by King Henry I, this medieval abbey’s ruins tell tales of power and faith. Pro tip: Check for guided tours or reenactments! 3️⃣ University of Reading 🎓 A top UK research uni with a Triple Crown-accredited business school (Henley). Known for strong ties with Huawei, Bank of China, and more. 🛒 Supermarket Discount Hacks 🛍️ Tesco Discounts: Starts around 8 AM, but best deals are evening/closing time (30 mins before). Smaller Tesco Express often has last-minute markdowns. 🛍️ ASDA Peak discounts: 7 PM - 9 PM (highly competitive!). #UKTravel #HiddenGems #ReadingUK
