Our Campus and Facilities

Location

Part of what makes City Lit so special is its location. The College is nestled right amongst the cobbled streets and lively markets of the world-famous Covent Garden. With most of our classes taking place on-site, we’re proud that the majority of our students get the chance to come and experience learning here in this unique corner of London.

Our campus puts us right at the heart of the city and some of its main cultural institutions. We are partnered with the nearby British Museum, National Gallery and Royal Opera House amongst others, offering our students unparalleled opportunities during their learning journey.

The history, culture and community that surrounds our building is unrivalled. Learning very much transcends the classroom at City Lit.

We are within walking distance from Holborn, Covent Garden and Temple underground stations. Find us on Google Maps here.
