Every postcode this desk covers, and how far apart they really are
Twelve areas, and one motorway running through the middle. Each area below has its own page with real hotels, real walk times to the station and an honest account of what you can and cannot do on foot.
Distances out here are small and unevenly useful. Windsor to Eton is a bridge. Slough to Heathrow is twenty minutes. Burnham to anywhere is a car.

The SL1 and SL3 core
Slough Central is the hub: three hotels and a station on the Elizabeth line five minutes from the middle of town. Langley is the same town's eastern half, built around junction 5 of the M4, with the Ditton Road hotels and a country park most guests never find. Burnham shares the SL1 postcode and shares nothing else: ancient woodland, two houses in their own grounds, and a twelve minute drive.
03
The river: SL4 and the far end of SL3
Windsor has the castle, five hotels and two stations, and four of those hotels are within a four minute walk of each other. Eton is one street over the bridge, six minutes on foot. Datchet is the quiet one: a green, a station three minutes from it, and no hotel of its own.
04
Westward on the line
Maidenhead is the western terminus of this desk's territory, fifteen minutes past Slough, with an arts centre that puts something on most nights, a lock and a weir at the bottom of town, and hotels that run from a business room to a house in parkland above the Thames.
05
The airport edge
Colnbrook holds the Terminal 5 hotel belt, under ten minutes from the gates by car. Heathrow itself covers the terminal hotels and the Bath Road rooms. West Drayton is an Elizabeth line town, Harmondsworth is a village with a medieval barn and no hotel, and Longford is a hamlet on the Bath Road. Every evening that touches a terminal runs to three hours as a minimum with the travel counted inside it.
