East London is one of the best places in the world to be a student.

East London wants you. No matter who you are or where you're from.

East London is a creative hub of opportunity and innovation. We are in the most culturally diverse and exciting area in the capital.

With campuses in Stratford and the Royal Albert Dock, we're at the heart of it all.

Nowhere else quite matches the diverse community in East London - check out our interactive 'Where Next' platform to experience East London for yourself!

Discover East London – Where Next platform
Arial view of Docklands area.

Regeneration in the Royal Docks is going to create 35,000 jobs and 12,000 homes in Newham, East London, and over £5bn of investment by 2038.

Enjoy unforgettable nights out

East London nightlife is tough to beat. The streets of Shoreditch are lined with unique places to go, from Judge and Jury, a restaurant in an old courthouse, to Trapeze, a circus themed bar. Dalston is another popular spot with all types of bars, from jazz to DJs. But perhaps one of London's best kept secrets is Hackney Wick, with its warehouse spaces for raves and hidden bars.

Head to the shops

Head to Westfield in Stratford and Canary Wharf for high-street shops, restaurants, cinemas, and more. Prefer to shop independent? Old Spitalfields Market is home to indie brands and Broadway Market is loved by foodies.

Escape to green spaces

Mudchute City Farm is a 32-acre space dedicated to biodiversity – try horse riding or sample local produce with the Canary Wharf backdrop. Nowhere else quite matches the diverse community in East London! Check out our interactive 'Where Next' platform to discover what the area has to offer from those that love it and live it east!
