On foot (from Egham)

The College is just over a mile from Egham Station, about a 20 minute walk. Turn right out of the station along Station Road and walk about 100 yards to the T-Junction and the traffic lights. Turn left at the junction and follow the road up to the large roundabout (BP petrol station on your left); go left up Egham Hill. The first College entrance is on the left immediately before the footbridge. Go straight up the road past the carparking and turn right at the first intersection. The International Building is the first on your right. (See location map below)

By Road

The College is on the A30, 19 miles from central London and about a mile south-west of the town of Egham. It is 2 miles from junction 13 of the M25 (London Orbital). After leaving the motorway take the A30 west, signposted to Bagshot and Camberley (this is the Egham by-pass). At the first roundabout, take the second exit; at the second roundabout, again take the second exit and continue on the A30 up Egham Hill. The College is on the left at the top of the hill. There are footbridges across the road at the pedestrian and main entrances. Once inside the college turn left and follow the road down a small hill until you reach the International Building - carparking can be found on the left after the building.

By Bus

The following buses stop outside the College: Travel Surrey 441 (Heathrow to Englefield Green) and First 71 (Heathrow to Slough). There is also a College bus service, which runs between Egham railway station and the campus. The College bus, like the taxis, leaves from the main car park adjacent to the station.
