Eton Wick is a village in Berkshire on the south-western outskirts of London, north of the River Thames. It is located very close to both the historic towns of Windsor and Eton.

[edit] Transport

Eton Wick shares its major transport facilities with Windsor. The M4 & A4 are nearby, and in Windsor there are two railway stations; Windsor and Eton Central Station, and the Windsor and Eton Riverside station. The first station provides a one-stop route to Slough, where there is access to trains into London Paddington, or out West to Maidenhead and as far as Bristol. The latter station provides a direct route (with stops, but no changes) to London Waterloo.

[edit] Politics

The village is part of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, and administered by an elected unitary authority. The mayor is Councillor Mike Bruton (Liberal Democrat).

The current MP for the Windsor constituency (of which Eton Wick is a part) is Adam Afriyie (Conservative).
