Travelling to Graduation


Find out how to get to our Egham Campus

Planning how you travel to Graduation is important. With limited parking on campus and our committment to our environement, we are encouraging graduands and guests to find alternative travel routes to campus if they are able. 

Public Transport

This year, we strongly encourage graduands and guests to use public transport to travel to graduation.

Trains

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

You can book train tickets to any railway station in the UK from Egham using the National Rail website.

There are also a number of buses that travel from Egham to Royal Holloway, as well as a shuttle bus that will run throughout the week (schedule pending).
