Tea with the Queen |
114 Campden Hill Road London, Berkshire SL4 1NJ +44 1753 86 9898 http://www.royalresidences.com/ |
Windsor Castle gives you the chance to snoop around a royal residence and track the history of the English monarchy. There's been a royal castle here since the time of William the Conqueror although it has been altered and rebuilt through the centuries. Part of the Castle is still used as a Royal Residence, and Prince Edward married Sophie Rhys-Jones in St. George's Chapel in 1999. The Castle is huge, so people tend to head for the most spectacular bits - the State Apartments, St George's Chapel, the Gallery and the delightful Queen Mary's Dolls' House. Works of art, antique furniture, curiosities and impressive architecture reflect the tastes of many different royal generations. Crowds and queues are the norm in summer, so leave plenty of time. The chocolate-boxy town of Windsor itself and Windsor Great Park are there to be explored too. Admission: adults GBP11, senior citizens GBP9, under 17s GBP5.50, children under 5 free.
