About this experience
Windsor sits in the Royal County of Berkshire, a short journey from London along the Thames, and this half-day trip gets you there with transport included so you can focus on exploring. The town itself is worth the visit alone: cobbled streets lined with tea rooms and small shopping arcades, all set beneath the walls of the castle that has watched over it for centuries.
Windsor Castle is the main draw for many, and you can choose whether to add entry. It's the largest continuously occupied castle in Europe and has served as the ancestral home of the British Royal Family for more than 900 years. Inside, the State Apartments hold works from the Royal Collection alongside the Waterloo Chamber, built to commemorate the victory over Napoleon. St George's Chapel, within the castle grounds, is one of England's finest examples of Gothic architecture — look up at the stone ceiling added by Henry VII, and you'll be standing where royal weddings have taken place and where 11 monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II and Henry VIII, are buried.
This is a flexible, low-key way to see one of London's most popular day-trip destinations. Whether you spend your time inside the castle walls or browsing Windsor's riverside streets is entirely up to you.
What to expect
Your half-day begins with transport from London to Windsor, a town set on the River Thames in the Royal County of Berkshire. Once there, you're free to explore at your own pace, wandering the cobbled streets, browsing the shopping arcades and stopping into one of the tea rooms scattered through the town centre.
If you've chosen the ticket with castle entry, you'll head toward Windsor Castle, visible above the town's skyline, and step inside the State Apartments to see the Waterloo Chamber and pieces from the Royal Collection. From there, St George's Chapel is within the castle grounds, where you can take in the Gothic architecture and stone ceiling added by Henry VII before making your own way back for the return journey to London.
Things to note
- Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be walking on cobbled streets and covering ground on foot
- Decide in advance whether you want the ticket including Windsor Castle entry, since options vary
- St George's Chapel involves some standing and walking on uneven stone flooring, so take care
- Bring a layer or light jacket, as much of the day is spent outdoors or moving between sites
- Photography rules apply inside the State Apartments and Chapel, so check signage on arrival
- Windsor's streets and shops are compact, making it easy to explore without a fixed plan
