Location
If you’re looking for the bustle of city life without the hustle, beautiful Kingston upon Thames – United Kingdom is the place for you. On the doorstep of the capital, Kingston is one of London’s safest boroughs and offers all the highlights of city living in a leafy, riverside location.
The University’s four campuses can be found in and around the town centre, with a free inter-site bus connecting them. It’s a lively, student-friendly location on the Thames, neighbouring historic Hampton Court Palace and two royal parks. Better still, the heart of the capital is just 30 minutes away by train.
