A riverside market town of around 67,000 people, Maidenhead sits on the southwestern bank of the River Thames in Berkshire, where the water marks the county boundary with Buckinghamshire. The Thames defines its character. Oldfield and College Town fill out the southern and western residential edges.
Elizabeth line trains from Maidenhead station reach London Paddington in under half an hour, placing the town squarely within the capital's commuter range. Furze Platt and Cox Green are among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments, drawing families who value the quieter residential streets north of the town centre; Altwood extends the school-competitive belt eastward. The town's roots trace back centuries, from its medieval river crossing to the Victorian pleasure-boating era that brought wealthy Londoners upstream each summer.
