Camberwell
College of Arts
What makes Camberwell so special? For
over a century, this small College (1,600
students) with a big reputation has been at
the heart of a bohemian community that
values inventiveness, collaboration and
curiosity. The College sits beside the South
London Gallery in one of the city’s most
vibrant, urban boroughs – a lively, friendly
place brimming with artists’ studios. Come
to Camberwell and you will notice a strong
set of values - of equality and fairness, of
respect and tolerance, and a real sense of
place and connectedness with the world
around us. The College has an extensive
range of professional workshops and
facilities, including a Digital Media Centre,
one of the largest printmaking centres
in the UK, open access ceramic, wood,
metal and plastic workshops, and various
specialist darkrooms, processing rooms
and photographic studios. Camberwell
is undergoing a £62 million regeneration,
which will see a new extension being built
to house a modern lecture theatre, studios
and library.

of Communication
London College of Communication works
at the cutting edge of new thinking so
our students are ready to launch their

of London, LCC lists the London Eye, the
South Bank film, art and theatre complex,

near neighbours. Its 5,000 students take
full advantage of the outstanding facilities
of this unique institution, which include
photographic and TV studios, darkrooms,
interactive media and animation suites,
broadcast and print newsrooms as well
as specialist printing, printmaking and
letterpress workshops. LCC’s teachers
make it their mission to meet the real needs
of the communication, media and design
industries. For LCC getting ahead means
getting immersed - students are often
commissioned to work on live briefs for
major companies such as Nike (graphic
design for clothing), The National Trust and
Nokia. The College is also proud to house
a selection of famous archives and special
collections, including those of filmmaker
Stanley Kubrick.
London College
of Fashion
London College of Fashion’s rich heritage,
and responsiveness to changes in design
practice, has positioned it as a leading
global provider of fashion education. Known
worldwide as a centre of excellence and
the proving ground of big names like Jimmy

UK’s only specialist fashion college works
hand in glove with its industry partners to

London is certainly the top
choice to learn about fine art,
from classical to contemporary
times. I have been able to
explore art throughout the city,
from world-renowned museums
to all sorts of galleries, and
even private studios of
distinguished artists.

Wimbledon
College of Arts
The warm, close-knit community spirit of
historic Wimbledon, our smallest College
with just 1,100 students, is integral to
its success in producing outstanding
graduates of fine art and theatre design.
Just an easy 15 minutes by train from
the centre of London, its well-equipped
studios, workshops and exhibition spaces
are surrounded by leafy open spaces.
Wimbledon’s range of specialist facilities
include metal, wood, print, dye, costume,
and technical arts and special effects
workshops, as well as an animation suite,
darkrooms, a sound studio, a film and video
studio, and green screen facilities. The
recent renovation of the 150 seat theatre to
incorporate sound and film studios, along
with the opening of a new sustainable
studio building has further enhanced the
facilities there. Students comment that the
College is far enough away from the centre
of London to have real space to think and
work in, but close enough to be able to
access London’s rich cultural life.
