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 Windsor area is also well served by public transport, with a direct bus from London Victoria and two train stations connecting to London and the West Country.

Windsor road closures for the guard march
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).

Road closures that may affect your journey
The M4 junctions 3 to 12 smart motorway project will necessitate a number of closures and diversions and we will list them here when we receive notification of upcoming works.
The M4 will be closed from 8pm Friday 21 February 2020 until 6am Sunday 23 February 2020 in both directions between junctions 4b to 5.
This is to enable Old Slade Lane bridge near junction 4b to be demolished, which will be replaced later in 2020.
The signed diversion route for the weekend will utilise the M25, A3113, A3044 and the A4. Strategic diversion routes on the wider motorway network will also be clearly signed for the duration of the closure.
You are advised to plan ahead, find alternative routes and avoid this section of the M4 during this time if possible. You can find out more online.
Please visit Highways England for more information and allow extra time for your journey to the Royal Borough.
