Set right outside Philadelphia, the commute from the Radnor train station is an easy one on the Paoli/Thorndale SEPTA Regional Rail line. Additionally, Radnor is located just a short drive from King of Prussia. Because the parking lot is larger here and many offices are close by, this is a busy station during commuting times.
Radnor and its neighboring town of Wayne, offer a plethora of shopping and dining spots with a quaint, small-town feel. Check out some of Sage’s favorite spots for more on where to go!
