Crossings  

Some footways and crossing points will also be closed periodically to facilitate the procession movement in the town centre from 9.30am to 12.30pm on both days.

To support the state visit, some car parks in Windsor may be affected on Monday 19 October and Tuesday 20 October 2026. To avoid disruption, please use public transport where possible.

The following car parks will not be available from 7am to 5pm on both days:

• Home Park car park.
• King Edward VII Avenue car park.
• River Street car park.
• Romney Lock car park.

All other car parks will remain open as normal.  

Due to the early road closures, we are asking all businesses to contact their commercial waste providers to ensure that they have their waste cleared from the roadside by 7am on both days. 

Coming to Windsor?

While some roads may be closed, Windsor and Eton's shops, cafés and restaurants will be open as usual. Most car parks will remain open and pedestrian access to businesses will be maintained wherever possible.
