Reading's hospitality scene serves a mix of corporate diners from the Thames Valley tech corridor and a growing residential population attracted by its proximity to London. The Oracle shopping centre and Broad Street offer mainstream dining, while the independent scene has grown around the Caversham and South Reading areas. The Reading Festival drives a major spike in accommodation demand each August, and the town's hotel sector is expanding to serve the business travel market from nearby Green Park and Thames Valley Park.
