Homes in Slough
Slough grew rapidly in the interwar period around the Slough Trading Estate, and much of its housing is interwar and post-war semis and terraces. Upton and Chalvey have older Victorian homes, and Britwell has a large post-war estate.
The town centre has been redeveloped with new apartments, helped by the Elizabeth line. Langley is close to Heathrow, with aircraft noise. The town sits on gravels and clay.
