Central London is easily accessible by rail (under an hour to London Waterloo). The area is noted for its excellent schools, both in the independent and state sectors, including Winkfield St. Mary's C of E Primary School in the village, Lambrook, Meadowbrook Montessori, Papplewick, Heathfield, LVS Ascot, St. George's and Eton College.
