The ward of St. Mary's sits at the heart of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, taking in much of Windsor's historic town centre beside the River Thames. It covers the streets around the castle precincts and riverside promenades and lies within easy reach of Eton across the bridge and major transport links into London and Heathrow.
Tourism and hospitality dominate the local economy, with hotels, shops and attractions serving visitors drawn to Windsor Castle, royal ceremonies and river cruises; this produces a lively mix of historic architecture, independent retailers and seasonal markets. Socially the ward blends long-standing residents and affluent households with a substantial contingent of service and hospitality workers, while community life centres on churches, conservation groups, local pubs and events that celebrate the town’s royal and riverside heritage.
