Our campus tours are a great opportunity to find out more about life at our South Kensington Campus – big enough to house some fantastic facilities but not so big you will feel lost in the crowd.

You'll be guided round our South Kensington Campus by a current student so it's also a chance to quiz them about their own Imperial study experience.

These tours are for invididual visitors and their guests. If you're interested in visits for schools, please see our Campus visits for school groups page.
