Named after the 17th-century workhouse that used to stand on its site, The Oracle is a firm favourite among Reading’s shoppers for its blend of high-end brands and high street favourites. Introduce your idea to the 15 million people that come here each year in this ground floor retail space near the entrance from the popular Riverside development’s pubs, eateries and cinema.

THE CROWD

Having attracted names not found elsewhere in Reading, such as Apple, Hugo Boss and Reiss, The Oracle is a hit with the town’s largely affluent locals. And, with the railway station only 15 minutes’ walk away, it’s handy for shoppers from around Berkshire and further afield, too. With over a million people strolling through its doors every month, The Oracle sees quite a steady crowd of shoppers passing through, although weekends are much busier than weekdays.
