History

Shough seems to have been named around the 12th Century. From the 17th Century, it was used as a horse staging post West from London. in 192, Slough Industrial Estate became the World's first Industrial Trading Estate and the rest of Slough benfitted from the post-war housing developments. In recent times it has become part of the Thames Valley technical coridoor and is ideally suited as a commuter Town for London. This is all despite David Brent's efforts.

When we started our first website in 1997, we had a very clear-cut mission: to take the simple process of selling attraction tickets online - and do it extraordinarily well.
 
We also believed that online customers should benefit from our use of cutting-edge technology and never pay more than the face value of any ticket and also profit from discounts when buying tickets for more than one attraction in the same transaction.
 
As the years have gone by, we have maintained our gate price or less policy and have gone much further offering significant discounts on many attractions. Now into our second decade online, we have significantly extended our international product range and introduced tickets for major UK exhibitions.
 
All Tickets and Services sold by 365 Tickets Limited and its affiliate sites are contracted by and supplied to 365 Tickets directly or by an authorised regional agent. As no middle-men are involved, we are always able to sell at gate price or better. Because of our unique position of having contracts with a large number of different suppliers, we are able to offer many money-saving combination packages that are not available elsewhere.

Legoland is set in Windsor Great Park and offers fun and rides for children of all ages.
 
Legoland was known for its miniature models of buildings and people and this is still evident in the 'miniland' area where many famous and not-so-famous buildings are on show. However, the main draw is the wide variety of rides.,br> Everything from gentle meanders down the Enchanted river for the smaller ones through to the driving school where attendees can obtain a 'licence', through to the thrill-seeking rides.
 
There is a wide variety of catering establishments and there is a live theatre stage putting on regular performances during the day.
 
Legoland's entrance is at the top of a hill and, whilst there is a hill train, this can get busy so be prepared for a lot of walking.
 
In addition, the queues for the rides can be horrendous during the holidays, so be prepared and make sure that you meet any height restrictions before you start queueing! A new automated queueing system takes some of the pain out of queueing and allows you to do other things (like eat) whilst your place is held in a virtual queue.
 
Booking online (and printing your own ticket can be cheaper and also save you some of the queueing. Follow the links for further information.
