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.
