Our modern campus is a peaceful oasis in a busy city, set beside the Regent’s Canal, looking on to Mile End Park. It has a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, with plenty of greenery and attractive outdoor spaces so it is easy to forget that you’re in the middle of a busy capital city. The city centre is a short walk or bus trip away, as are East-End hotspots like St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Spitalfields Market, Whitechapel and Brick Lane.

I was very satisfied with the campus location because it wasn't in the middle of all the tourism or large crowds of people. It was very calming to return to it at the end of the day.— Eleanor Skladman from the USA, British Horror and Fantasy Cinema, and London Performance Past and Present
