Cemetery Junction is a road junction in East Reading, bordering on Newtown, in the town of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. It is a notorious bottleneck for traffic during rush hour, with the main A4 road meeting the A329 road from Wokingham.[2]
The junction is named after Reading Old Cemetery just to the east, with a grand ornamental gatehouse immediately off the junction.
Located in the Cemetery Junction is Wycliffe Baptist Church, Arthur Hill Swimming Pool (closed in 2016),[3] food shops, takeaway food outlets, public houses and a pharmacy.[4]
