KEGS nearer a mainline station, but off-site sports facilities.
WHSB longer walk from station, all facilities on-site.
I have to admit that I have only visited either school once (we live a mile away from WHSB and have two DSs, but DS1 looked round WHSB just with DH, didn't like it, and chose SHSB), but those were the main things differentiating the two, objectively. For us, though, if forced only to decide between those two schools, a mile walk vs a choice between three trains, a bus and two trains, a train (or bus) and an expensive but reliable bus, or a single bus taking an hour and a half to wend its scenic but unpunctual way through twenty miles of Essex countryside, WHSB would have been a no-brainer.
(DS2 liked both schools, but in the end, also chose SHSB).
