A perfect balance of study and London life

On the East side of the River Thames lies the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. A towering skyscape of new architecture and Olympic sporting venues, it’s refreshingly new and spacious. This is where you’ll live and study, with the melting pot of Hackney nearby, and the always-exciting Stratford located minutes away.

Explore the Olympic Park and East London

You’ll have access to attractions, parks and leisure venues. The micro-community of Here East, a buzzing technology park, is next door - giving you a taste of what it’s like to live and work in the city. Legendary sporting venues are a prime feature of the Olympic Park, and you’re only a few minutes away from these incredible facilities.

You can tuck into comforting soul food at Hackney Bridge food market. Or wander along the open river and sit and watch the world go by at one of the nearby green spaces.
