Student Travel near King's College London (KCL)

The main ways to travel around King's College London's Strand Campus are the Tube, buses, walking and cycling. Located in Zone 1, the campus is close to several Underground stations and major bus routes, while many central London destinations are also within walking distance. For students living in King's College London student accommodation near campus, walking is the cheapest way to get to class. Local buses and the Tube provide convenient alternatives for longer journeys. The best option depends on where you live, your class schedule and how often you travel. Here’s a closer look at the most convenient ways to get to and from the Strand Campus.

Underground (Tube)

The Tube is one of the most convenient ways for King’s College London students to travel around central London. Students can save on fares with an 18+ Student Oyster Photocard, which offers discounted travel on public transport. The nearest Tube stations to the KCL Strand Campus include:
    • Temple (District & Circle lines): 2-minute walk away, the nearest and most popular
    • Charing Cross (Bakerloo & Northern lines): 10-minute walk away
    • Embankment (District, Circle & Bakerloo lines): 10-minute walk away
    • Holborn (Central & Piccadilly lines): 12-minute walk away

Bus

Several bus stops sit right outside the Strand Campus, including Aldwych / Drury Lane, Lancaster Place / Somerset House, and Aldwych / Australia House, served by routes 1, 26, 172, and 188, among others. Bus fares are generally cheaper than the Tube, making this a budget-friendly daily option.

Train

Students living in outer London may need to take a train to Charing Cross or Waterloo, then either walk about 10 minutes or take a short bus ride to the Strand Campus.

Walking

A popular choice for students living in halls or private accommodation within 15-20 minutes on foot. If you're looking for KCL accommodation with a short commute, uhomes.com lists options as close as a 7-minute walk.

Cycling

Santander Cycles docking stations are widely available across the area. Bike parking is available at the Strand Campus and at nearby street racks.

River Bus (Thames Clippers)

The river bus offers another way to travel on the Thames. This means students can travel on it using Embankment Pier and Blackfriars Pier (both located very near the Strand Campus). It can be a useful choice for students travelling along the river, although the Tube and bus are usually more convenient for everyday journeys.

Uber, Bolt & Taxis

Uber, Bolt and local taxis are handy when you’re travelling late at night, carrying luggage or trying to avoid the rain. These options can cost considerably more than walking, buses, or the Tube, so most students use them for occasional trips rather than their daily commute.

Student Life at King's College London

Student life at King's College London is vibrant, especially as studying at the Strand Campus places you at the heart of London's cultural and business scene. Your daily routine moves between lectures in the historic King's Building and seminars in the modern Bush House. Between classes, you can easily find a quiet space to study or grab coffee and snacks at The Shack and the KCLSU Café. For lunch, many students head to The Vault, which serves a variety of international dishes, while evenings often mean cheap pints, quiz nights, and socialising with friends.

 

The King's College London Students' Union (KCLSU), based in the vibrant Bush House on the Strand, plays a central role in student life. It offers access to a great gym and to more than 330 societies and sports clubs, which host activities such as debate nights, cultural festivals, volunteering opportunities, and social events throughout the year. The Strand Campus is also the main hub for events organised by KCL and its various faculties. When it's time to focus on essays or final exams, students often head to the Maughan Library, which is just an 8-minute walk from campus.

 

Just around the corner, Somerset House and Covent Garden are favourite hangouts for KCL students, offering plenty of options for off-campus dining, coffee, and nightlife. Within a few minutes' walk, you can enjoy coffee or brunch at places like WatchHouse, Oriole, or Notto, grab quick bites from LEON or Pret A Manger, or explore Covent Garden's international restaurants and bars for a lively night out.
