Travelling to King’s 2024
Travelling to King’s by school bus or local bus
King’s College School Coach Service:
The school has 13 coach routes to transport pupils to school in the morning. They are scheduled to arrive at school at 08:10. Homeward journeys begin at 16:20 with approximate return times in the last column. This is a private bus service for the use of King’s College School only and members of the public cannot, and do not, use the service.
The current list of routes for 2024-25 is listed opposite. The annual fee for travel in both directions is £2,232.66 and £1,489.06 for travel in one direction. These fees are reviewed on an annual basis and are subject to change. Stops will remain fixed, as per the timetable, unless, for some reason, the coach operator is unable to service a particular stop. Please note, this is not a door-to-door service. Spaces are allocated on a first come first served basis and whilst we will do all that we can to accommodate requests, a space is not guaranteed. Where possible pick-up points are located at TfL bus stops. This does mean that coaches are not able to wait but will not depart before the scheduled time stated.
All coaches are fitted with GPS tracking. This can be used Monday to Friday 06.30 to 09.00 and 15.30 to 18.00.
Homeward routes may vary slightly to take account of numbers travelling and one-way systems.

Travelling to King’s by train or tube
King’s is extremely well-served by public transport of all types and is easily accessible from all parts of London and Surrey.
There are excellent main line connections from Wimbledon Station, with many services running at intervals of 15 minutes of less. South Western Railway run trains from Wimbledon to Clapham Junction and Waterloo and from Wimbledon to Surbiton, Kingston and the South West. Thameslink trains run directly to and from the City of London. From Wimbledon, the school is a short walk or very short bus ride away on the 200 or 93.
The district line Wimbledon branch is an excellent option for pupils who live in Chelsea, Fulham, or areas served by other district line branches. It provides a practical alternative to the school coach in the evenings if pupils are involved in after school extra-curricular activities.
