Windsor Guildhall

The Windsor Guildhall is the town hall of Windsor, Berkshire, England. It is situated in the High Street, about 100 meters (330 ft) from Castle Hill, which leads to the main public entrance to Windsor Castle. It is a Grade I listed building. A deed of 1369, now in the possession of Eton College, however, the erection of the present guildhall was begun in 1687.

Since the formation of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in 1974, the guildhall has been used by the borough council for ceremonies and committee meetings. On 9 April 2005, the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles took place there, and on 21 December 2005, it hosted one of the first same-sex civil partnership ceremonies to be held in England, that of Sir Elton John and David Furnish. On 12 March 2011, the new Windsor and Royal Borough Museum was officially opened in the Guildhall by Queen Elizabeth II.
