Caversham Heights is a suburb of the former town of Caversham, which today is itself a suburb of the larger town of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. Caversham Heights has no formal boundaries, but the name usually refers to that part of Caversham situated on higher ground to the west of central Caversham, straddling the Woodcote Road (A4074).[1] House prices in Caversham Heights are the most expensive in Reading.

There are two recreation grounds in Caversham Heights, and two golf courses and a health club with swimming pool just outside Caversham Heights in neighbouring South Oxfordshire.
The Albert Road recreation area provides public tennis courts, and is home to a bowling club and a croquet club.
Caversham Heights lies entirely within the Mapledurham and Thames wards of the borough of Reading. As a unitary authority, the borough is responsible for all aspects of local government within the area. The area is within the Reading East parliamentary constituency and the South East England European constituency.[2]
A somewhat fictionalised Caversham Heights is the central theme of the book The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde.
