- Travel from London
- 0–25 miles from Charing Cross

Practical tips for families
- Most London boarders are international — schools have well-established EAL pathways.
- Heathrow and St Pancras are within ~45 minutes of every London boarding school — easy half-term travel.
- Day-boarding options (sleep over Mon–Thu, home weekend) are common here, cheaper than full boarding.
