Campuses

Our two campuses (London City and London North) are within easy striking distance of central London, and both are well located for tubes, buses and trains.

You will have all the benefits of studying in the heart of a major city - and when you graduate, you'll find there are countless job opportunities on your doorstep.

London City Campus

City Campus

Where are we?

In the City of London, the capital’s financial and business centre, and the Aldgate area of East London (near Brick Lane). Maps and addresses.

Character of the area

Glass-fronted skyscrapers rub shoulders with converted warehouses and old silk merchants’ houses where you find creatives and city financiers equally at home. The rich cultural mix of the area has attracted many cutting-edge designers and artists whose work can be found in local galleries, workshops and venues such as the Truman Brewery.

Life outside study

Local markets and vintage shops abound, from Spitalfields and Petticoat Lane to Columbia Road and beyond, where you can pick up a bargain or two. The area features regularly as a hotspot among London’s trend-setters and fun-lovers with its eclectic bars and clubs centred around Hackney and Brick Lane. Countless curry houses, coffee shops and the famous 24-hour bagel shop will fuel any evening out.

Added extras

  • A simulated Bloomberg trading room is being developed for our Finance students
  • Our new Interpreting Suite at Moorgate has facilities on a par with those used by the EU Commission in Brussels
