The oldest building on Eton High Street, an attractive 15th-century timber-framed inn, now the Tiger Garden Restaurant. We don't know exactly when it was built, but it is mentioned in documentary evidence from 1465 when it was owned by Thomas Jourdelay, an early benefactor of Eton College In 1508 the building was purchased by St George's College, a...
Across the road from The Cockpit is Turks Head Court, an attractive timber-framed building with a passage through the centre. If you duck through the passage you can see a row of pretty cottages on either side of a narrow lane - timber-framed, whitewashed on the left and red brick on the right.

On the west side of High Street, down a treed path, is St John's church, built to a Victorian Gothic design in 1852. Only a small chapel on the upper floor is used for religious services today; the remainder is used as a doctor's surgery and the Eton College Sanitorium.
Just before you reach the college you pass over a small iron bridge almost without realising it. There has been a bridge here since the 13th century; the current iteration is wrought-iron, built in the 19th century. Barnes Pool is a backwater of the Thames and has been a popular location to paint the college for centuries.
I loved exploring Eton; certainly, the college gets pride of place, but the High Street is well worth a slow ramble, and as an added bonus it is likely to be far less crowded than Windsor across the river!
