The centre of Slough is modern and has seen significant development recently. As well as new development underway, for example the Heart of Slough Project, current facilities have benefitted from extra investment and enhancements, for example, the Queensmere Shopping Centre. Slough will also receive additional investment into its transport facilities due to enhancements to the train station due to the London 2012 Olympics. There has been criticism, however, of the destruction of several noted buildings including Art Deco design commercial buildings dating from the 1920s.
Transport links to Slough are outstanding, and a frequent running rail route runs to London in one direction, and to Reading in the opposite direction. The motorway network is readily accessible starting with the M4, which connects to the M25 and the M40 which provides access to Banbury, Oxford and Birmingham. Slough Trading Estate has been in operation since the early part of the last century and is an important commerce and industrial centre, and even has its own power station. The trading estate assisted Slough in surviving the economic ups and downs of the last century.
