There are 32 boroughs in Greater London, stretching from the City of London and Westminster, to surrounding areas like Chelsea, Camden, Richmond, Hackney and Islington.

It’s big, but it’s easy to jump on a train, tube or bus to experience everything on offer – from food pop-ups to world famous music acts, free museums and West End shows.

Fantastically diverse and historical, with many industries and businesses based here to kickstart your career, London is one of the most desirable – if pricey – cities in the world.

It also houses our student venue The Rocket and two large outdoor courtyards.

Aldgate – Home to our School of Art, Architecture and Design, our Aldgate campus is located near Whitechapel Gallery, Petticoat Lane, and Spitalfields and Columbia Road markets. The facilities on campus include specialist workshops for wood, metal, ceramics, jewellery, photography, media, textiles and more.
