Campus and facilities

The character of LSE is inseparable from its location. Situated in central London, the School is located in one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Only a short distance from Europe’s financial, legal and cultural centres, LSE stands at the crossroads of international debate. This is fundamental to our identity as an outward-looking institution with an active involvement in UK and world affairs.

LSE has one campus in central London near to the River Thames, Covent Garden and Theatreland, the Royal Courts of Justice and many other London sights. All our buildings are located within the same few streets meaning that the campus has a real sense of community.
