The A4 and the Great Western Main Line pass through the town, which was historically part of neighbouring Buckinghamshire. The Elizabeth line is expected to allow faster journeys to central London.
Slough's population is one of the most ethnically diverse in the United Kingdom,[2][3] attracting people from across the country and the world for labour since the 1920s, which has helped shape it into a major trading centre. In 2017, unemployment stood at 1.4%,[4] one-third the UK average of 4.5%.[5]
Slough has the highest concentration of global corporate HQs outside London. Slough Trading Estate is the largest industrial estate in single private ownership in Europe with over 17,000 jobs in 400 businesses.[6] Blackberry, McAfee, Burger King and Lego have head offices in the town.[7]
