On Tour: Windsor Castle

A few days away as a family is always good. So, on Wednesday October 28 we set off for Slough, using the Metropolitan line from Watford to Uxbridge, where lunch was purchased. We then caught the 222 bus to West Drayton, from where we caught the Elizabeth line to complete our journey. This was by far the cheapest and quickest option, saving over 20 minutes from the journey if we had headed into the city. We had picked Slough as Windsor, where we were going to spend all of Thursday, has no Premier Inn and is just a short taxi ride away. After a look around the Observatory Shopping Centre and visiting the William Herschel Memorial we headed for our hotel and checked in. We then deposited our bags in the room and relaxed, before heading out for dinner at The Moon and Spoon. Suitably fed we headed back to our hotel and looked forward to the day ahead.
