TRAVELLING TO KING’S
Travelling by School Coach
We have 11 coach routes to transport pupils to school in the morning and at the end of the school day. They are scheduled to arrive at school at 8.10am and return journeys will begin at 4.20pm (approx. return time can be found on the next page). This is a private bus service for the use of King’s College School only. Members of the public will not be using this service.
Our coach service is not a door-to-door service and stops will remain fixed (as set out in the timetable), unless the coach operator is unable to serve a particular stop. Wherever possible, pick-up points are located at TfL bus stops.This does mean that coaches are not able to wait, but they will not leave before the scheduled time.
Coach bookings will open in the summer term each year. Whilst spaces on our coaches are offered on a first come, first served basis, we will always do our best to accommodate requests.
All coaches are fitted with GPS tracking. This allows parents to check the location of the coach both in the morning and afternoon. A link will shared after booking.
Return routes may vary slightly to take account of numbers travelling and one-way systems.
For further information please email coaches@kcs.org.uk or call 020 8255 5315.
Charges for 2026-2027 are:
This is an annual service, charged termly (terms notice is required for cancellation) and prices are reviewed in the summer term.
