They don’t show every possible route and you could have fun finding a way that works for you. If you know a safe way that gets you there even quicker, that’s great! Take that route instead.

Bus routes

There are plenty of buses going in both directions on Epping High Road.

The buses go through central Epping, in one direction to Harlow and in the other to Loughton.

Train routes

The school is approx. 1.6km from Epping Underground station, the final stop on the Central Line from Stratford. The services are very frequent and, as it’s the start point into central London, you’re very likely to get a seat on the way home. Even though Epping is outside London, you can buy the 11-15 Zip Oyster photocard, which allows child rate pay as you go fares on the Tube, or the 16+ Zip Oyster photocard, which permits you 50% off the adult fare, whether you live inside or outside London. A small admin fee is all that’s required when applying.
