A student leading a campus tour

Our campus tours are a great opportunity to find out more about life at our South Kensington Campus. You'll be guided around by a current student so you'll have a chance to quiz them about what it's like to live and study here.

They take place most Wednesday afternoons. Use the link below to check if spaces are available on our next tour. Places fill up quickly so please check back again if you cannot book a space.
