Ascot, Horse racing town in Windsor and Maidenhead, England
The town features Victorian villas and semi-detached properties surrounded by woodland areas near the prominent Ascot Racecourse along a broad High Street.
Queen Anne established the Ascot Racecourse in 1711, leading to the development of this small Berkshire settlement into a major racing destination.
The Royal Ascot meeting in June marks a social gathering where attendees wear formal attire and participate in traditional hat-wearing customs.
Ascot railway station connects directly to London Waterloo and Reading, making it a preferred location for professionals working in these cities.
During Royal Ascot Week, the local workforce expands from 70 to 6,000 people to accommodate the influx of racing enthusiasts and event operations.
