Shopping in Windsor and Eton

For a survey of the best antiques for sale in Windsor, walk through the shops on High Street, King Edward Court, and Peascod Street.

Windsor Royal Station, the shopping center at the main railway station (tel. 01753/797070), has a concentration of shops, often with London connections such as Liberty's Department Store.

If you're not going to Scotland, head for the Edinburgh Woollen Mill, 10 Castle Hill (tel. 0808/202-0242; www.ewm.co.uk), with the finest selection of Scottish knitwear and tartans in Windsor. A colorful traditional English perfumery, Woods of Windsor, Queen Charlotte Street (tel. 01753/868125; www.woodsofwindsor.co.uk), dates from 1770. It offers soaps, shampoos, scented drawer liners, and hand and body lotions, all prettily packaged in pastel-flower and bright old-fashioned wraps. At Billings & Edmonds, 132 High St., Eton (tel. 01753/861348; www.billingsandedmonds.co.uk), you may think you've blundered into a time warp.
