This is the main site for our undergraduate teaching. You can find our Central Library, sports centre, Imperial College Union, the NHS health centre and three of our halls of residence are located.
We also have a other campuses in London, all of which are easily accessible via public transport.
This ensures that our students have the best of both worlds: access to some of the best teaching, research and facilities while still being within easy reach of everything London has to offer.
South Kensington is at the heart of 'Albertopolis', the realisation of Prince Albert’s vision for an area where science and the arts would come together. The streets are well paved and well lit, the public areas are well maintained, and we share the area with some world reknowned neighbours...
