    This little black-and-white house looks like it's had too much to drink and tilts like a drunk towards one side!. Enjoy a light lunch, a Royal cream tea (tea and scones with clotted cream and jam) or dinner (bring your own wine). A member of the Slow Food movement, which advocates healthy eating, this adorable restaurant sources its produce locally.The building is supposed to be 300 years old!
    We did not eat in here!

    The Guards at Windsor
    by evaanna
    The picturesque parade of the Changing of the Guard lasts such a short time that you can't take a good picture of it, especially that the police keep everybody to the side of the street.
    Here the last of the Guards pass the Queen Victoria Memorial. Even with their backs to me they looked so exotic I couldn't resist taking a picture.

    When your visit to the Castle comes to an end, just before you leave by Henry VIII Gateway, here is your chance to get the best souvenir from the Castle you can imagine - a picture of yourself with the Guard. He seems to be there specially for you, but, poor chap, is not allowed even to smile as tourists, mainly girls, stand by him one by one to pose for the picture.

    Queen Mary's Dolls' House is a magnificent dollhouse built in the early 1920s, completed in 1924, for Queen Mary, the wife of King George V of the United Kingdom. The idea for building the dollhouse originally came from the queen's cousin, Princess Marie Louise, who discussed her idea with one of the top architects of the time, Sir Edwin Lutyens at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1921.

    The Changing of the Guard is, strictly speaking, called Guard Mounting where the new guard exchanges duty with the old guard. The Guards are stationed at Victoria Barracks and march up to and from the Castle accompanied by the Guards Band playing traditional military marches as well as popular songs.

    Windsor Castle is an official residence of The Queen and the largest occupied castle in the world. A Royal home and fortress for over 900 years, the Castle remains a working palace today.
    Visitors can walk around the State Apartments, extensive suites of rooms at the heart of the working palace. For part of the year visitors can also see the Semi State rooms, which are some of the most splendid interiors in the castle. They are furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection including paintings by Holbein, Rubens, Van Dyck and Lawrence, fine tapestries and porcelain, sculpture and armour.
    Within the Castle complex there are many additional attractions, including the Drawings Gallery, Queen Mary's dolls' house, and the fourteenth-century St. George's Chapel, the burial place of ten sovereigns and setting for many Royal weddings.
    PHOTOGRAPHY IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED INSIDE ROOMS

It is the Chapel of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Britain's highest order of Chivalry. The Chapel has witnessed many royal weddings and is the burial place of ten sovereigns, including Henry VIII, Charles I, George VI with his wife Queen Elisabeth the Queen Mother and their younger daughter, Princess Margaret.

    Peascod Street is an extremely old street and as such confounds visitors with the strange pronunciation of its name. Locally it is known as 'Pesscott' street', not, as it might seem, 'peez cod street'. As you might expect from one of the oldest streets in the town, it offers a wealth of shopping from top to bottom! In order to make the experience even more pleasurable, the entire shopping area was closed to traffic and turned into an attractive pedestrian precinct in the mid 1990s
