How to Travel to Cumberland Lodge

Map Heathrow Airport is about 20 minutes by taxi from the Lodge.

To book a Taxi, telephone: (0)1784-432222 (A2B Taxis); -433300 (Allpoint Cars), -436533 (Arrow Cars); -433933 (Egham Taxis), -436162 (Runnymede Cars). These taxis can be booked in advance, or upon arrival. To call from abroad, replace 0 by 44. One-way trip from Heathrow to Egham costs about £20. Please, note that the above-listed taxis charge much less than cabs waiting in the Airport.

The Organising Committee plans to book a School coach between Heathrow and Windsor on 16 and 29 August. The exact information will be displayed on this page by 10 August. To help us to optimise the departure time from Heathrow, please, email us the expected arrival time of your flight.

If you land in Gatwick Airport, there are two ways to travel to the Lodge:
- by local train to Egham Station (Time Table is available on www.railtrack.co.uk).
  This is the least expensive option.
- on the airport coach to Heathrow and from there by taxi.

By Train - The nearest station is Egham (NOT Windsor) and this is 3 miles from the Lodge. The journey time from London Waterloo is normally 35 minutes.

By car -Leave motorway M25 at Junction 13. Follow signs A30 - Egham and then Windsor A308. Once on A308, drive for nearly 2 miles and then turn left - signposted A328 Englefield Green - into Priest Hill. Turn right at the brow of the hill into Castle Hill Road and then right at the T-junction into Bishopsgate Road. This road leads directly to Bishopsgate - one of the entrances into Windsor Great Park. There is a sign to Cumberland Lodge at the cross-roads just beyond the gate. Turn left. After half a mile there is another sign and you should turn half right into the road for the Lodge.

If you get lost on 16 August, please, contact us using one of the Lodge tel. numbers: (01784)-432316/434893/439258
