Windsor is basically a fairy tale with a train station. The castle dominates the skyline, but locals know the real magic is in the riverside pubs and the Long Walk—a direct line of ancient trees perfect for a Sunday ramble. It’s 35 minutes to Waterloo, and the commute feels like a reward rather than a chore.
If you spot a royal waving from a car, don’t be that person who takes a selfie mid-commute. Just smile and get to your 9am meeting feeling vaguely regal.
