More about Berkeley

Greater London, England

Berkeley sits snugly on the River Thames and feels like a quiet secret just waiting to be found. The Faraday Museum has been hosting science shows for years, proving you don't need a huge city centre to have great learning moments. It is quite a treat when the river is calm and the air smells of damp earth. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and local craft fairs turn the high street into a hub of activity. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you are not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening. Not bad for a town this size.
