Eton Wick is a village in the English county of Berkshire (formerly in Buckinghamshire) on the western outskirts of London, immediately north of the River Thames. It is located very close to both the historic towns of Windsor and Eton, as well as Slough and Dorney Lake, the planned rowing venue for the 2012 Olympics.

Transport

Eton Wick shares its major transport facilities with Slough, as the route to Windsor by road is circuitous. The M4 & A4 are nearby. At Slough there is access to trains into London Paddington, and west to places such as Maidenhead, Reading and Bristol.

Politics

The village is part of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and administered by an elected Unitary Authority. The current MP (2007) for the Windsor constituency (of which Eton Wick is a part) is Adam Afriyie (Conservative). Before 1974, the village was in Buckinghamshire, but was moved to Berkshire in the local government reorganisation of that year.
