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 Côte Brasserie, just over Windsor Bridge.
Eton Town Council are organising the Eton May Day Fete on Monday, 4 May at Eton Recreation Ground.
The event marks 200 years since the historic act that secured Lammas Land for the people of Eton and Eton Wick, known as The Glorious Majority. This act ensures our important green space would remain in community ownership for generations to come.
The event is free to attend and open to all. Full programme.
