Chauffeur Hire in Windsor and Ascot

The Castle dominates the skyline, Eton sits across the bridge, and the Great Park stretches south towards Ascot in a way that makes the whole area feel considerably more rural than the map suggests. Guests come for the racing, for polo in the Park, for school occasions that involve a great deal of standing about in good shoes, and for the view from the Long Walk on a clear afternoon.

Heathrow is minutes away, which makes Windsor one of the easiest places in England to arrive in well. We meet flights and drive straight in, then take care of the local awkwardness: the set-down nearest the Castle entrance, the hotels around the High Street and Sheet Street, the Eton College approach on a busy speech day, and Ascot race week when every road within three miles slows to walking pace.

Ascot is fifteen minutes south and the polo grounds sit inside the Great Park itself. Cliveden and the Thames at Maidenhead lie north, Henley is half an hour west, and Wentworth and the Surrey courses are close enough for a morning round and lunch afterwards. Families come for Legoland, which is five minutes away and considerably better approached before the queues form at the main gate.

Heathrow is typically twenty to thirty minutes depending on the terminal and the state of the M4. Gatwick is around an hour and a quarter. From central London the M4 usually takes an hour to an hour and a half, longer at either end of the working day, and the train from Paddington via Slough is a sensible alternative with a car waiting at Windsor.
