Life in the Thames Valley

The Thames Valley is one of the few regions in the UK where it really is possible to live and work in a picturesque setting. Almost half of the region is made up of areas of outstanding natural beauty, tucked away from the noise and environmental pollution of a big city.

 

The diversity of arts, cultural and culinary delights make the region well-geared to meet the needs of its expatriate residents.

 

State schools perform consistently well and there is a selection of esteemed international and private schools in the region. Thames Valley Universities also provide an extensive range of academic and commercial courses at some very prestigious establishments, catering for all interests and skills.
