Community Matters

The College is situated between the small town of Egham and the village of Englefield Green, close to London. The small sizes of the local communities makes Royal Holloway a relaxed and peaceful place to study; the closeness of London gives many opportunities for those wanting to live, visit or do voluntary work in a big city.

The College seeks to be a good neighbour by contributing fully to the local economy, by supporting local causes with student volunteer help, by encouraging its students to behave considerately in the local area and by encouraging attention to crime-prevention.

The links below contain advice for students and local residents on how to ensure they live harmoniously together; encouragement for students to volunteer for community action; information about local attractions and places of worship and guidance on the common-sense safety precautions that are necessary in all areas,no matter how tranquil.
