Egham Town

There are many restaurants in the town for food and drinks. Mostly clean and safe environment. Close walk to the university. Everything is in walking distance. Not much nightlife just a couple of pubs. Can get a train into staines windsor or london though for nights out. Cinema close by. Polite people not much rowdyness and noise. Expensive rent

I chose my University because of the location!I chose my University because of the location!I chose my University because of the location!I chose my University because of the location!I chose my University because of the location!I chose my University because of the location!

Town is a 15 minute walk away, so can be annoying at times. The campus is great. Not much to do in the local area however town over has much more.

There is not much to do in egham, it is a very small town. Links to London are good and there are good restaurants in staines and Windsor which are very nearby. There is no nightlife in egham.

Egham is quite a secluded little town, with not a lot to do in the area itself. However, it is near other towns with more to do such as Windsor and also London, just 40 minutes away (with the right train!). It is quite useful to have these towns around if you’re looking for a busier nightlife too; although, the SU has gotten significantly better if you know and are friends with the right people! They not only put on night time events but activities and trips during the day too.

Overall, egham does not have much to offer for university student who desire good night's out. It is a quite place with a few locally owned cafes and shops but not much else. The location is beautiful both the town and campus with a range things to do but if you do want a good night out London is not too far!!

The town is rather small, it’s lovely and quiet but presents limited opportunity for night life, food, and retail. There are no major fashion retailers around, few fast food shops at high prices and a bus service which runs a limited schedule.

There are few venues for clubbing except for the SU however it hosts 3 events a week and the fact that there are so many pubs in the local areears that there is never a dull moment! There are also lots of restaurants in the local area and the local domino's does 50% orders of£30 or over for all students! All in all the uni is great fun but I recommend joining a club or society to get the most out of the nights out.

Egham is a 'quaint' town and by that I mean rather dead. No nightclubs other than the Students Union Venue, quite a few pubs though. There's an Iceland but people usually spit on you if you shop there. Waitrose you struggle to buy a pint of milk for under a tenner. Best bet is to go for the Tesco. There's a Sainsbury's just the near side of Staines which is a bit more quiet of you have a car.

Egham is a really good student town, just 40 minutes away by train from London Waterloo, and 25 minutes away by train from Richmond. The shops in the town are great and offer a variety of necessities, as well as some great little coffee shops and cafes for those hungover breakfasts. Being only 5 minutes from Staines by train and car, you then have a huge selection of shops, restaurants, a cinema and a few nightlife spots. Heathrow airport is only a 10/15 minute drive away for the holiday getwaways, with other public transport options available as well. The university is in a really central location, 10 minutes walk from town, and 10 minutes walk from Virginia Water where you can stroll through the parks, and join the Windsor Great Park for the long walk.

Nights Out - Rhul is known to be a slightly tragic nightlife but I didnt realise how bad till I started. The only options you have locally are the SU, the 'club' they have on campus and The Packhorse. If you want you can take a 30 mins bus ride to Slough or Staines but its not much better there. Food - The boiler house cafe and the library cafe are really nice. Again, not much in Egham. Shopping - None haha closest is Slough Value For Money - For me, I would say not really as there it isnt much in Egham and its quite overpriced.

There isn’t much nightlife in Egham for uni students, so if you want to go for a night out away from campus you have to travel a bit further into Windsor, Reading or London. There are however many restaurants and cafes in Egham itself, which are good for going out with friends. Egham doesn’t have many shops, although there are great local shopping centres within a good distance in towns such as Staines, Windsor and further into London.

Royal Holloway university of London is located just outside of West London. The campus is a 15-20 minutes walk from the station and it takes 40-60 minutes on a train to get to London Waterloo depending on the train. An off peak travel card used to be 10 pounds with a student discount, however, in the morning it is way more expensive. Today I attempted buying a travel card and it was 27 pounds without discount and 18 pounds with discount.

So far my overall experience has been delightful in Egham . The town is small but has all of the essentials you need such as a Tesco, petrol station and a few other shops. We are a 15 minute bus drive away from Staines so if we require more then we are can just hop on a bus or Uber. We have a few bars and pubs that are usually filled with students so it is a great way to socialise and make new friends. Egham is quite quiet so there are not too many distractions so we are able to get our work done in time. We have a club called Atik that is quite close by( a 15 min drive away) so if we ever need a break from studying we are able to do so!

Egham is simply the sh*tiest plase you will ever live! There is nothing to do, not many options to eat and the transportation to and from anywhere SUCKS. It doesn’t even have a Mc Donalds! The supposedly have a Burger King which is 40 minutes away from the university by walk, almost at the Motorway...

Egham is great for charity shops, churches, and loads of places to eat. It's less great for nearby Nightlife although it has many pubs. The nearest club is the Student Union at Royal Holloway, or slightly further is Atik at Windsor. Egham is relatively close to London so it's easy to get to London nightclubs by train although the earliest train back is around 5am. The area is mostly residential and feels very safe.

Egham's a pretty quiet town and in the immediate vicinity to the uni there are a few shops that have everything you need. It's close to Staines and Windsor which make great shopping trips and days out, and London is only half an hour away on the train. There's lots of great local pubs and even though there's not any clubs, it makes a good pub crawl night out or great for pres before heading to the SU. I've really grown to love Egham even though I'm from a busy London town and I'm going to miss it!

Egham is a pretty dead place for a uni and it’s very obvious that our uni keeps the place alive! If this is the case then I think it should be made more student friendly, maybe some clubs or cocktail bars you know, There are pubs and stuff but don’t really like being a little weirdo surrounded but many of the local snobs

The town is a small but regardless it has alot more than what would be expected. With the use of tesco, waitrose and Marks & Spencer food there is enough to do grocery shopping. There is even a kaspas for a dessert or so. However, night life is pretty dead and there is barely anything to do. But it has room for improvement and the potential.

The location is great if you are looking for somewhere with little distractions, yet so accessible to some great cities, such as being 30 minutes away from central London. The nightlife however isn’t so great within the immediate town and mainly rely on the university nights that are provided, otherwise we would travel to London or to Windsor for a night out.

This university is in the middle of no where, although it is labelled as a University of London it takes nearly 1 hour 30 mins to get into London, and with train tickets and tube rides this isn’t exactly ideal for the financial aspect of student life. Although there are coaches every now and again to take you away to clubs it seems unorganised from reviews. There are a lack of shops and food places around us. Atleast have a decent shop on campus that isn’t overpriced which limited stock and then atleast we wouldn’t have to walk 15 mins down Egham hill and another 30 mins up hill with shopping bags.

The town itself isn’t great for nights out, and in terms of nightlife Egham is pretty slim. However, Egham is on the Waterloo line so transport to London is easy and relatively cheap. There’s a Tesco which makes for easy access groceries, and a few shops on the high street. Overall it’s a useful base for uni but I wouldn’t say it’s great.

Very quiet town, a small amount of shop enough to do you essential grocery shop but nothing else around! Runnymede Chicken and ribs is the best chicken shop in England! but apart from that a quiet area. A few pubs but full of old men!

Egham and Englefield Green inclusive is an ‘OK’ area. It is not a particularly riveting area if you are looking for big clubs and off campus (Royal Holloway) nightlife however that aside it has many benefits. Shopping acces to Tesco, Iceland, Waitrose etc in Egham town, easy and cheap bus routes between Egham, campus and Englefield green and easy access to London.
