My girlfriend and I really enjoyed ourselves in this store. Delving into an ocean of knick knacks,…read morewe loved some of the extremely unique items they have here. From vintage phones to tape dispensers that look like cassette tapes, there is quite a randomness to this place, but that makes it fun to browse. They have these incredible framed pieces that have the shape of a character/object in a book silhouetted, but instead of the silhouette being filled with black it is filled with the book's text. If you're into book posters, they also had over 10 classic novel cover posters which were quite awesome. They even had vintage and novelty thermoses and ice cube trays that formed the shape of boomboxes. They carry a few "Fred" items, which if you know the brand, are extremely fun and I'm always glad to see them in stores. St. Audrey's is a close walk from Henley's town center, so walk on over to Duke Street and have a look around!

Reading (pronounced like the color, red-ing) is no London, but it does have history and culture…read more Those are collected here, in the Museum of Reading. Going all the way back to the 8th century, the displays here walk you through the ages of the city. I found it very educational and enlightening. Through the old days, up to the modern days of the city that really accelerated with the arrival of the railway in the 1840's, the impact of Huntley and Palmers biscuits on the growth, and the brick factories, WWII, and the new modern age, where Microsoft, Oracle, ING Direct, Prudential have major operations here. Lots of displays, many of which are interactive. If you have kids, this might be a fun place to bring them. Though they probably already come here as part of school trips. While they don't do public guided tours, there's still plenty to look at and engage. You can probably go through the whole place (it's on three floors) in two hours. Admission is free.
