Live like the other half and up sticks to this royal riverside town

Home to Her Majesty the Queen’s weekend dwelling, you can bet that Windsor is a pretty great place to live.

Many Londoners have made the move here thanks to its compelling history and royal connections, as well as its easy access to the capital and Heathrow Airport, which is ideal for commuters.

With Windsor Castle – the oldest inhabited castle in the world – the crowning glory of this stylish borough, you can count on some beautiful scenery and plenty of country charm.

Sitting on the south bank of the River Thames, Windsor is very lively for a small town and has a whole host of bars and swanky restaurants to keep you entertained, as well as a trendy high street featuring every designer brand you could wish for.

As far as education goes, there are some truly excellent private and state schools to set your children up for the future.

There’s big money here, so don’t expect many bargains as the average house price is a steep £539,966.

On the other hand, Windsor has pretty much every property you could dream of, from spectacular Georgian buildings and Victorian terraces to some fine modern homes, dating from the thirties to the present day.
