Our campus is located in the heart of London, an iconic city that ensures you’ll be exposed to a unique atmosphere with beautiful architecture, vibrant energy, and countless exciting opportunities.
London is a central point in the world for arts and culture, so what better place to let your creative talents flourish? All of our programmes offer you the unique opportunity to study and be inspired, whether by the national galleries, museums, fashion boutiques, historic buildings such as the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, or the West End—there’s something for everyone.
You will also be studying in one of the cities lucky enough to host the Olympic Games. The buzz of the games has never left the city, so there is no better time to study in London.
To live in London is to experience one of the greatest cities in the world. Students at LCCA benefit from a location known as the centre for culture, arts, politics, government, media, law, and finance. London carries a status unrivalled by any other city.
LCCA is at the heart of what has been described as “the cultural capital of the world”. The capital is home to over 200 museums (twice as many as Paris or New York), 150 theatres, 34,000 shops, 3,000 parks and open spaces, and 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Kew Gardens, Maritime Greenwich, Tower of London, and Westminster Abbey and Palace).
You’ll not only benefit socially as a student in London at LCCA but academically too. Surrounded by libraries, archives, galleries, and the headquarters of professional associations, you’ll have access to an unmatched range of cultural activities and influences.
Although London is known for its expensive cost of living, London students report some of the highest term-time incomes in the country, with an average monthly income of around £2,476 (NatWest Student Living Index 2023).
When it comes to launching a career, London graduates have a significant edge, thanks to the proximity of the country’s top employers in law, finance, business, media, and communications. With so many opportunities right on their doorstep, students at LCCA are uniquely positioned to step into their chosen career paths.
In many ways, London doesn't have to be any more expensive for students than other university towns or cities. The city offers a wealth of free attractions, from libraries, galleries, and museums to parks and street markets. With a bit of spending money, students can enjoy a vibrant cultural scene, including theatre, cinema, opera, ballet, music, sports, and nightlife, many of which offer student discounts.
