Previously known as the Cardinal <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/blacktar/306029852/ photo]</small>, it closed for refurbishment in 2010 and was renamed to the Windsor Castle when it [http://www.peterberthoud.co.uk/2011/06/a-welcome-return-to-windsor-castle-2/ reopened in mid-2011]; this is a name it has [http://deadpubs.co.uk/LondonPubs/WestminsterStMargaret/WindsorCastle.shtml had before].

There are several compartments towards the front, some with mostly/only high tables and stools. Signs warn that drinking outside on the pavement is not permitted.

At the back is a large, open room in the style of a gentleman's club. A large rectangular stained-glass skylight is centered in the ceiling, and a large ornate mirror stands above the fireplace. The walls are half-panelled in dark wood, papered above in subtly-patterned burgundy, and adorned with framed paintings of the interior of the actual Windsor Castle. Sofas and armchairs cluster around claw-footed tables.

There are four handpumps on the bar, presumably all clipped for Sam Smith's sole cask offering, Old Brewery Bitter (which was &pound;1.36/half and served a bit cold on [[Kake]]'s March 2012 visit).

As of April 2015, food is served noon-9pm.

Accessibility: Step-free to get in at the left-hand entrance; the right-hand entrance has a very small step. There's step-free access to a RADAR-locked toilet via the back room, though there's a very heavy (non-RADAR-locked) door in front of it. A RADAR key is available from the bar. The gents' toilets are down a flight of stairs in the basement, and the ladies' are up half a dozen stairs (there may be another ladies' somewhere &#8212; this one was a single tiny cubicle).
