Slough ( /slaʊ/) is a large town in Berkshire, England, 20 miles (32 km) west of central London and 17 miles (27 km) north-east of Reading, in the Thames Valley at the intersection of the M4, M40 and M25 motorways. Slough had a population of 164,000 in 2017.

The A4 and the Great Western Main Line pass through the town, which was historically part of neighbouring Buckinghamshire. The Elizabeth line is expected to allow faster journeys to central London.

Slough's population is one of the most ethnically diverse in the United Kingdom,[2][3] attracting people from across the country and the world for labour since the 1920s, which has helped shape it into a major trading centre. In 2017, unemployment stood at 1.4%,[4] one-third the UK average of 4.5%.[5]

Slough has the highest concentration of global corporate HQs outside London. Slough Trading Estate is the largest industrial estate in single private ownership in Europe with over 17,000 jobs in 400 businesses.[6] Blackberry, McAfee, Burger King and Lego have head offices in the town.[7]

The Brunel bus station and car park, opened in 1975[8] has now been demolished as work has started on the Heart of Slough project.[9]
The old Slough library was opened on 28 November 1974. It was officially called the Robert Taylor Library, named after Alderman Taylor in recognition of his contribution to the library service. The library was officially opened by the Mayor, Councillor DR Peters, on 15 May 1975. It was demolished in May 2017 as part of the programme of redevelopment in the town centre.[10]
