Private Transfers to Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle has been home to English and British monarchs for almost 1,000 years, making it the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Rising above the Thames-side town of Windsor in Berkshire, it remains a working royal residence: the King spends many weekends here, and the castle hosts state visits and ceremonial occasions throughout the year.

Visitors can explore the magnificent State Apartments, St George's Chapel, the burial place of monarchs including Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth II, and Queen Mary's Dolls' House, the most famous dolls' house in the world. The Changing of the Guard takes place on scheduled days and is one of the best places outside London to see the ceremony up close.

Windsor delivers royal history on a scale nowhere else can match, and the pretty riverside town around it, with the Long Walk, Eton across the bridge, and plenty of pubs and tearooms, makes it a satisfying full or half-day trip from London. The castle is generally open to visitors five or six days a week from morning to mid-afternoon last admission, with days and hours varying by season and royal events, so checking dates in advance is essential.

Its position just outside the M25 also makes Windsor the perfect stop between Heathrow and the West Country, or the first taste of England on arrival day.

Trains from London to Windsor require a change at Slough or a slower route from Waterloo, and luggage makes both a chore. By private car, Windsor is a simple, direct run: around 25 minutes from Heathrow and roughly an hour from central London, with drop-off close to the castle's visitor entrance on Castle Hill.

An LJ Transfers chauffeur turns the day trip into something effortless. Your driver waits while you tour the castle and walk the town, then carries on to Stonehenge, Oxford, or back to your hotel, all on one fixed, pre-agreed fare.
