Windsor Royal Shopping
About
Windsor Royal is a shopping centre built around and beside Windsor & Eton Central station, an attractive Victorian-era railway arcade right below the Castle walls with over seventy shops and places to eat, a mix of national names and independents. It is free to enter and open all year, and it is genuinely useful for the hour either side of a train rather than just a mall, with cafes and a spot to shelter on a wet day.
