Easy to get to by public transport, The City College is located on the edge of the trendy Hoxton and Shoreditch areas of London which have vibrant arts and entertainment districts with great places to eat,  art galleries and bars. The Old Street area itself has recently been nicknamed “Silicon Roundabout’ and is a rapidly expanding centre for new companies specializing in computing, gaming, mobile apps and design.

Please check the TFL website (https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/) before travelling to the College building as currently,  there is a lot of construction inside the station and the roundabout.

How to get to The City College:

By London Underground and Overground trains:
