Thames Court in central Windsor offers a modern Office in a prestigious, central location with views over Windsor Castle and the surrounding estates. This Office has a very corporate feel yet is near Windsor's historic High Street and the Guildhall area, with its abundance of shops, leisure facilities, pubs and restaurants. Eton College is a few minutes' walk away. This region has a very strong economy, helped by good communications, a well-educated work force, proximity to London and strong local employers. In the 20th century, historic industries were replaced by modern knowledge-based industries, primarily information and communications technology and life sciences. The area is also home to some important distribution centres and business parks. In the 21st century the Thames Valley region has become known as one of the UK's fastest growing regions with one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe.
