Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A lovely historic building serves a number of roles. An engaging museum is here but its official role is as headquarters of the borough council.
Famous weddings have taken place in the august location, most notable that of the current King and Queen in 2005.
So very eventful since it was built in 1689 as the Guild Hall.

I was getting thoroughly fed-up with Windsor, with the beggars and smell of weed at odds with the expensive shops. Luckily I came upon the Guildhall Museum near the castle and amongst interesting buildings. Entry was a very reasonable £2. The museum is quite small but nevertheless full of fascinating objects, but what I really liked was the diorama which was beautifully made and one of four which are rotated. As the room above (register office) was not being used , three of us were given a tour of the beautiful rooms. The main room was full of royal-related paintings and objects, but what really made the tour was the volunteer. Len had lots of stories about the portraits in the room - I learnt quite a lot!.The "royal gossip" - all very respectful - don't worry Your Majesty! - was fascinating.

While the Guildhall itself, a fine late 17th-century building designed by Sir Christopher Wren, is well worth checking out there are a number of other little things around it which greatly appealed to us. This included the seriously wonky shop next door, the plaque in Queen Charlotte Street suggesting it's the smallest street in England, and the entertaining quote on the wall of the next door pub. An interesting area to wander around.

Where the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall were married.
Now a Museum. Entry was free and was good to get into the shade and out of the sun for a bit. Tourist information desk is located inside.
The exhibits are well presented and details the history of Windsor itself rather than the Queen and Windsor Castle. However there is not many to see.
Staff seem really friendly and helpfull.

I wanted to see where Charles and Camilla got married! It only costs £2 per person, they have a lovely audio collection of local stories of people who have lived in Windsor thoughout the ages, which is very nice. The tour lady is very nice, and has a lot of knoweldge, and some really nice little stories! The main room is nice enough for a wedding, lot's of royal portraits. The room Charles and Camilla got married in, is small and has 2 gorgeous stainglass windows, and I think a nicer room. It was nice to have a look in the majors office, but I think they need to employ a cleaner, rubbish in waste bins and a bit of an egg sandwich smell was a bit off putting. I'm sure when there is a wedding, they would have a tidy up but it did put a bit of doubt in my mind about how clean and tidy it would be on a wedding day. Having said that, I enjoyed the tour and the tour lady is excellent.

This is the place where Prince Charles married Camilla. The building is very ornate and definitely a must see.

This is the best place to in Windsor to meet someone other than at the train station. There is a souvenir shop in the Guildhall as well as free public toilets for men and ladies beneath the Guildhall. The entrance to Windsor Castle is less than five minutes walk up a short inclined street.

My eldest sister was married here several years ago and every time I walk by the Guildhall it makes me smile. This historic building is located right by the castle and well worth a visit.
