This is a prelude to a planned massive revamp of Bracknell’s town centre. The existing buildings, some of which can only be called an eyesore, are being torn down to create a massive new mall and modern town centre.
This process is long overdue as Bracknell was one of the ‘new’ towns built in the 1950s which were erected without much thought going into their layout. As a consequence Bracknell is a maze of roundabouts, though it is not too bad to drive in as long as you avoid peak hour congestion.
The highlight of the year in Bracknell is the Big Day Out festivities. This music concert takes place in the beautiful grounds of South Hill Park Mansion and draws some unusual and interesting acts every July. The closest airport to Bracknell, which is to the west of London, is Heathrow – only half an hour’s drive away so Car Rental Bracknell is an excellent choice.
