Shopping
Windsor has an excellent choice of shops and salons for a town of its size. The town centre has department stores, high street names, a supermarket, and a great many specialist and fashion shops, in addition to shops catering for tourists, beauty, nail and hair salons and a Saturday Market. Whilst shopping, food is always close at hand!
The main shopping areas are Peascod Street, the High Street and Thames Street, Windsor Royal Station / Windsor Yards ( formerly King Edward Court), and Eton High Street. Slightly further out is St Leonards Road. Peascod Street, Windsor Royal Station and King Edward Court are all pedestrianised.
