Avery Hill Campus offers students a relaxed environment in the leafy London neighbourhood of Eltham and is only 30 minutes by train from central London. Everything is on-site and there are many students living on campus so it's a lively place to be.

Medway Campus is a historic site with redbrick buildings in north Kent. Students live, work and socialise on-site. There's a shopping centre across the road and the train to London takes 45 minutes.
