Lived there 1990 to 1995, not too bad then, even in a 'multicultural' area. Good shops and transport links, not especially high crime (Mrs. W left the front door open on a couple of mornings on the way to work - nothing went missing) and good curry houses.
Never be tempted to go to High Wycombe or Slough, though.

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible place. Betjeman was right.

Are you talking about working or living? Living in Slough is awful but working there is fine.

Working there is pretty grim too... although when I was there I did have the use of the underground car park under the office so didn't have to spend too much time abosrbing the multitude of cultures.
Slough definitely has the worst tescos I have ever been in though. It constantly feels dirty and looted
For the record I stayed in Windsor when I was there. Only 10 minutes drive away but feels like another country!
