Slough (斯勞), Berkshire (伯克郡)

Slough is a culturally diverse town located in Berkshire, South East England. It is a popular commuter town given that it only takes 15 minutes by train to London Paddington. The famous Windsor Castle is very close to Slough with just 13 minutes train ride away.


Slough is a special mixed community with more than 150 languages. It has many outstanding schools including four state grammar schools. There are some different faith schools, for example Roman Catholic, Muslim and Sikh.


The Elizabeth Line, operated by TFL’s Crossrail, has started its service from Slough to London in 2019. This new railway will run beneath London from Reading, passes by Slough and Heathrow, through central London across to the East of London. The central London section of the line is still under construction due to some signal issues. The completion date has been delayed several times, and they estimate it will be completed by 2022.


斯勞（Slough）是一個多元文化的小鎮，位於英格蘭東南部的伯克郡。這是一個受歡迎的通勤小鎮，乘火車到倫敦帕丁頓 (Paddington) 只需15分鐘。著名的溫莎堡（Windsor Castle）非常近Slough，乘搭火車只需13分鐘即可到達。


斯勞(Slough) 是一個特別的混合社區，有超過150種語言。斯勞有許多優秀的學校，包括四間文法學校 (Band 1公校) 。也有一些不同信仰的學校，例如羅馬天主教、穆斯林和錫克教。


由TFL的Crossrail營運的伊麗莎白線, 於2019年通車。這條新鐵路將從雷丁（Reading）經過斯勞(Slough)和希思羅（Heathrow）並且經過倫敦市中心，直達倫敦東部。由於一些信號問題，該線路的倫敦市中心部分仍在建設中。完工日期已經推遲了好幾次，他們估計到2022年完成。
