Bray is a village and ward in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in England, sitting beside the River Thames and close to Maidenhead and Windsor. The area combines a compact historic village core of listed buildings and a riverside character with suburban ribbons of housing that reflect its role in the affluent London commuter belt.
The ward punches above its weight culturally and economically: it is famous for a cluster of world‑class restaurants, while nearby Bray Studios and local heritage buildings hint at a surprising cinematic and historic past. Popular with visitors and residents alike, the locality mixes tourism, fine dining and comfortable village life rather than heavy industry or dense urban development.
