Our centre is one of the only London campuses to be completely self-contained. Situated by the waterfront in the historic Royal Docks with views of the iconic London Skyline at the University of East London Docklands Campus. London’s Royal Docks introduced a new world of commerce to the capital in the 1880’s and drew produce and people from all corners of the world.
Our centre provides a modern, well-equipped learning environment, with modern lecture theatres and classrooms. There’s also easy access to the Elizabeth Line, meaning you can be in the centre of London within 20 minutes!
