Where

WINGS2009 will be based in Berkshire which is a region situated about 45km west of London in the south of the UK. It is a rural area with beautiful green countryside but with fast road, rail and air transport links.

The nearest airport, London Heathrow (LHR) is located on the edge of Berkshire and it is the UK's major airport with routes to all parts of the world. There are convenient connections to the other London Airports (Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, City). Berkshire is easily reached from main-land Europe by rail, road ( tunnel or ferry) and by air.

The previous WINGS camps have been situated in Windsor Great Park at the eastern end of Berkshire.
