Our home in east London

With festivals, Royal Parks, historical landmarks, and a lively social scene, it’s no surprise that London is one of the most popular cities in the world in which to be a student. As a student at Queen Mary, you will become part of the dynamic East End, famed for its rich history, community spirit and thriving cultural scene.
