Windsor is extremely convenient for Heathrow, M4, M3 and M25,
with easy access
to London via public transport, having two mainline train stations
serving London Waterloo and London Paddington stations, as well
as direct bus services to Heathrow and London. We always recommend
to our guests to stay in Windsor and travel by train into London
to explore the City. A cheaper and far more relaxing option.
Parking can be difficult, especially on summer weekends. See our guide to parking

Taxi From Heathrow
The easiest way to reach Windsor from Heathrow is by taxi. London
black cabs are
available from outside the terminal building but these will cost
in excess of £50 for the trip. The method I personally use is to phone
a Windsor local taxi
company called "Five Star". Phone from the arrivals
hall whilst waiting for your
luggage to arrive, they will then meet you outside the terminal
building; cost
for the trip is approximately £16.00 (price in year 2008).
Phone them on 01753
858888 and they will describe where to meet the taxi. They are
by far the most
reliable taxi company in Windsor. Distance from Heathrow to Windsor 12 miles
approx. Time for this
journey is dependant on traffic, but can be 20 minutes to 45 minutes
in rush
hour.
