Welcome to Eton

We are delighted that you have found our website and we really hope you’ll come and visit Eton too.

Our historic town has so much to offer visitors – whether you’re here for the day, a weekend or a short break.

Eton is immersed in history and fascinating architecture, not just with the world famous College buildings, but right the way through the town. Our pretty High Street is packed with restaurants, small independent cafés, bars and a host of characterful, traditional pubs.

We are just five minutes walk over the Windsor & Eton Bridge from the heart of Windsor, 15 minutes drive from Ascot, 10 minutes drive from Windsor Legoland Resort and 50 minutes by train or road from London.

If you’d like some tips on what to see, do or eat while in Eton or would like to pick up some local souvenirs, you’ll find the Visitor Centre at 67 High Street, Eton, SL4 6AA, right next to CĂŽte Brasserie, just over Windsor Bridge.

Join us for a walk through Eton and discover a town rich in tradition and history.

Sandwiched between two world famous landmarks, Windsor Castle and Eton College, the town of Eton actually predates both and is full of beautiful buildings and fascinating stories.

Starting at the 200 year-old Windsor bridge, we’ll stroll along the High Street to learn about the long history of the town. We then move across Baldwin’s bridge and look around Eton College (public outside areas only) where you will hear about the history of the school, its illustrious alumni and unique traditions.

Buy your tickets at Eton Information Centre at 67 High Street, Eton or over the phone on 01753 852588. Limited tickets available!
