In summer we have danced outdoors on Eton Bridge. It’s a beautiful location; we danced in a magical romantic setting on the bridge over the Thames overlooked by Windsor Castle as the sun set over the river. The Bridge is closed to traffic and has lovely views. They were memorable evenings and a unique Tango experience!

Venue
The Bridge is a very special place. Eton and Windsor are great places to spend the evening; if you’re thirsty or hungry we have counted over 50 places to eat & drink within a 10 minute walk!
Music selection
We pay particular attention to the choice of music at our milongas. You can expect a rich variety of the very best traditional tango, milonga and vals. We hope that you will be enchanted by the music in an unforgettable and enjoyable evening.
What about the weather?
The event was open-air, and so we depended on suitable weather. This is a reason why no more Eton Bridge milongas are planned.
Dancing in the streets…
The dance surface is smooth street paving with a camber so needs suitable shoes. It helps to adapt your dancing to suit the surface, with less pivoting than you would use on a wooden dance floor.
The milongas were organised with kind permission from Windsor & Eton town management. The local bylaws prohibit the consumption of alcohol on Eton Bridge.
