Planning how you travel to Graduation is essential. With limited parking on campus and our commitment to our environment, we encourage graduands and guests to find alternative travel routes to campus if they can. 

Public Transport

We strongly encourage graduands and guests to use public transport to travel to graduation. Our campus is well connected by public transport links that should make it convenient to travel. You can find out more information on public transport below, or on our travelling to and from campus page.

The closest train station to the University is in Egham, about a 15-minute walk from the campus. Egham station is on a main line connecting London Waterloo and Reading. Trains from Egham to London Waterloo take about 40 minutes, and trains from Egham to Reading take about 45 minutes.
