Paley Street is a hamlet in the civil parish of White Waltham in the English county of Berkshire. It is in the civil parish of Bray. It is situated about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Maidenhead and 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Windsor.

By the later medieval period, 'street' was often used to describe straggling villages in areas of late woodland clearance. Paley Street is one such example. [1]

For many years in the 1990s a horse racing yard was located at Cedars Farm.

Amenities

Paley Street has two public houses; The Bridge House[2] and The Royal Oak, the latter being a Michelin starred[3] gastro pub owned by TV personality Michael Parkinson and run by his son Nick.[4]
