Travelling to CLGS (City) from SE London?

[SaddieJRK]

Hi,

How the girls travel to City of London School of Girls from SE London?

1.Cannon Street and walk to school (10-15 mins)

2.London Bridge to Moorgate Underground and walk to school (5mins)

3.Elizabeth Line to Liverpool Street?

Thank you xxx

DLR also good option to travel City from SE London to Bank Station! - if you leave near by Greenwich, Cutty Sark, Deptford, Elverson or Lewisham.

Woaw so many public transport options!

Perfect!

Anyone travelling from SE to City of London Girls?

You can travel to Blackfriars from some parts of SE London too.

We're going to do SE to city junior!

@Lovemykids29 Great! How do you planning to travel?

We are planing to take overground train to Cannon Street and bus (2stops) or walk 10-15mins to school? I don't feel like there will be so many kids from SE London so I don't want my DD to travel on her own with underground train.

They should be fine x

Which one is closest station to City of London Girls? Moorgate, St Pauls, Barbican?

I work near there and see the girls coming from all directions. Lots clearly walk up from Cannon St and it's very busy with commuters so it would be very safe.

Which route is preferable depends on the station you are leaving from in the SE really doesn't it? If overground was your closest station, I wouldn't be taking a bus in SE London to North Greenwich to get on the tube specially.

As long as she gets familiar with a couple of routes so she has a plan B/C/D if a line goes down or worse is sensible. I've worked in the city through the 7/7 bombings and a number of security scares and you want them to be confident on a number of options to get home albeit school kids would probably be held at school for quite a while.

There's also the Thames Clipper in a slightly more costly pinch but not much help if you are coming from Dulwich.

@TreadSoftlyOnMyDreams Do you know how long it takes to walk from Cannon Street Station to CLGS? Thank you!

There are hundreds of boys that use Cannon St station for CLBS and plenty of school girls too.

@PinterandPirandello Do you know how long it takes to walk from Cannon Street Station to CLGS? Thank you x

About 12 minutes

I'd agree with that. Unless distracted by shops on Cheapside. :) It's a lovely part of London, I'd have no problem with my children walking it solo and there must be a prep school nearby too as I often see parents with smaller ones on scooters.

Thank you all- that was really helpful. I was also worried about the commute. Is it sensible to take the No. 4 bus from Cannon Street to the City of London School for Girls? I think it’s just two stops.

Hi, I wonder of the girls get tried over the time to travel to City? Any advice or feedback about the city school would be appreciated. Thank you.
