Visiting South Kensington
³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ has nine campuses, with the main campus where the majority of our public events take place situated in South Kensington on the site where the original College was founded in 1907. South Kensington is the heart of 'Albertopolis', a vision by Prince Albert and Sir Henry Cole to dedicate an area of London to science, education and the arts.
As a result, our South Kensington campus is surrounded by some of London's most famous cultural treasures, including:
- the

- the
South Ken Culture Quarter
Welcoming more than 20 million visitors a year to 22 iconic institutions, South Ken Culture Quarter is where cultural, scientific, and creative worlds collide, creating a destination for the most curious minds.
Home to London’s world-leading museums, parks, cultural venues, and educational institutions, all just a short walk from one another, this is a place where ideas come to life, every single day. Founded from the proceeds of the Great Exhibition of 1851, the UK’s first cultural quarter, in the heart of South Kensington, is built on history but focused on the future.
