The traffic. Oh, the traffic. The A4 through town is a parking lot at 8:30 AM. The one-way system is a Maze-style puzzle from a horror movie. Miss your turn? You’ll end up in Slough. Godspeed.
Also, house prices. They’re not cheap. A two-bedroom flat near the station can cost £400,000. You’re paying for the train, the river, and the vague proximity to Windsor Castle. But compared to London? It’s a bargain. You get actual gardens.

And the nightlife? It’s quiet. The best club is called “The Liquorist,” which sounds fancy. It’s mostly people sipping gin while Googling train times home. If you want a rave, go to Reading. Maidenhead is for early nights and river walks.
