The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is just 30 miles west of London with Heathrow Airport even closer, just 15 minutes away. Luton and Gatwick Airports are both within an hour's drive.
The whole of the Royal Borough is easily accessible via the major motorway networks of the M3, M4, M25 and M40.
The ongoing M4 junctions 3-12 smart motorway project will necessitate a number of motorway closures and diversions. Please visit Highways England M4 junctions 3-12: smart motorway page for a full list of dates and more detail and please allow extra time for your journey to the Royal Borough when these closures and diversions are in place.
Visit Highways England for information on other improvements and major road projects.
The guard march is a unique event that takes place in central Windsor.
Please note that traffic is stopped when the guards make their way between the barracks on Sheet Street, along the High Street and into the Castle.
Traffic Wardens and Police control traffic on the following approaches to the centre of town: Thames Street, the junction of Victoria Street and Sheet Street and near the junction of Frances Road and Sheet Street.
Traffic is usually stopped between 10:45am and 11:00am (as the guards march to the Castle) and between 11:15am and 11:30am (as they return to the Barracks).
Find out more information about the guard march.
