"We have found the east end of London to be absolutely beautiful, very convenient for all the sights, and the staff are so kind and friendly."
Dave and Great Tillett, South Africa
We are located in historic central east London on Mile End Road (A11). The capital's centre is just two miles away. Major tourist attractions such as Oxford Circus, the London Eye and the Tower of London can be reached in less than 20 minutes by public transport. We are also ideally placed to enable you to explore beyond the city too.

The College is situated between two underground stations. It is just a few minutes walk from Mile End station (Central, District and Hammersmith and City lines) and Stepney Green station (District and Hammersmith and City lines). Both stations provide excellent connections to London's key tourist sites.
