Thames Valley University (TVU) Location
TVU has three excellent locations in the most successful business region in the UK: Ealing, Slough and Reading.
Ealing
Despite being one of London's largest boroughs, Ealing has a distinctively green and leafy environment with more than 1,900 acres of park and open space. It is just 30 minutes on the Underground from Central London, with its huge range of theatres, cinemas and other entertainments.
The Ealing campus is just 20 minutes from London Heathrow International Airport. It is served by fast rail links from Reading and London, and has excellent local bus services. Ealing is easy to reach from all the London Underground stations.
By road
The St Mary's Road campus lies on the B455 between the A4 and the A4020, Uxbridge Road. The M4 motorway is a few minutes' drive away from Ealing (Junction 2), and the A40, M40 and M25, are all easily accessible.
By rail
The main Ealing campus on St Mary's Road has two London Underground stations within easy walking distance:
Ealing Broadway (Central and District Lines)
This is the nearest to Grove House (LCMM) and Westel House (Faculty of Health and Human Sciences). The St Mary's Road campus is a 10-minute walk. A regular bus service (Number 65) runs from outside Ealing Broadway station to the main campus. There is a regular rail service to London Paddington.
South Ealing (Piccadilly Line)
This is a 10-minute walk from the main campus on St Mary's Road.
Slough
Slough campus is just 25 minutes from London Heathrow and is located across the road from the main railway station which is on the main London Paddington to Reading route (Thames Trains Service). Trains run approximately every 20 minutes throughout the day. The journey from London Paddington to Slough takes about 30 minutes.
The campus is adjacent to the main bus station and is situated on the A4 (Wellington Street), next to the town centre and only a few minutes' drive from Junction 6 of the M4. Limited car parking is available on the campus, but there is a large public car park within a short walk.
Reading
Reading is Berkshire's most vibrant and lively town. Situated at the confluence of the Thames and Kennet rivers, it lies some 30 miles west of London, in the heart of the beautiful Thames Valley. Known as England's "Silicon Valley", Reading is a thriving centre of commerce and light industry with low unemployment and a wealth of top career opportunities. It also boasts a good nightlife, a busy sports and social calendar and one of the best shopping centres in the South
of England.
There are good road and rail communications. The M4 motorway provides easy access to London, Wales and the South West. There is an express coach service to London, and trains run to London (Paddington and Waterloo), the fastest taking less than half an hour.
The principal UK airport, Heathrow, is less than 25 miles away and frequent coach services operate from Reading Station.
