Public Transport

Marymount is conveniently located for a range of local public transport routes.  We are just 4 miles from Wimbledon, which is a major public transport hub into the centre of London and the surrounding areas, including Heathrow and Gatwick airports.  We run a minibus shuttle service to and from Wimbledon Station on a daily basis.

Norbiton and New Malden railway stations are both within a 20-minute walk, and the following bus services all stop close to the School: 57. 85, K2, K3.

School Transport

We also offer a dedicated private school transport service, designed to support families across a broad geographic area.  Our goal is to ensure that no journey exceeds one hour, providing students with a safe, comfortable and efficient means of travel to and from school.
