What actually matters when choosing
Reading is twenty five minutes from Paddington, which is why many people meet here instead of in London. Choose a hotel near the station if either of you is on a train, and remember that the centre is busy with commuters until seven and much quieter after.

How TheDirectory fits into this
Reading draws people from London and the Thames Valley, so a trusted profile matters. TheDirectory verifies identity against a government issued document through a person and reviews every photograph before it is published.
