I think Windsor Castle may only be open in summer, but the town is quite nice and there are some good pubs and nice way to spend a couple of hours rather than sit at the airport.

Agree not enough time to get into the city and back.
There isn't enough time for Windsor either!

If the OP is desperate to get out of the airport, Runnymede is a short taxi ride away. It's where the magna carta was signed and has great historical significance even if it's not well known in our modern era.
