Student life

Our Islington location is home to stylish cafés, restaurants, theatres and arts venues. On campus, you’ll be within walking distance of a rich variety of entertainment, food and history. Our Clerkenwell campus is close to several Underground lines, so it’s only a short journey to the rest of central London with the British Library, free museums and the spectacular West End.

Engage with the local community outside City St George's through events like Clerkenwell Design Week or by taking opportunities to volunteer in the local area.

Make connections in Moorgate

If you’re a postgraduate student at Bayes Business School, you’ll spend most of your time at our Moorgate campus. It’s a twenty-minute walk from our Clerkenwell campus and based in the heart of the City of London, also known as the Square Mile. This is where a quarter of the world's largest financial companies have their European headquarters, so you’ll be in a great location for networking.

Get to know Tooting

Our southwest London location in Tooting offers you the best of both worlds – it is small enough to have a friendly, local neighbourhood atmosphere, but it is close to all the attractions of central London. You’ll only be 25 minutes away from the heart of the capital via the Northern Line.

With pubs, clubs, parks and entertainment, as well as restaurants and eateries, there is plenty to do. The shopping areas in Clapham, Balham, Wimbledon and Colliers Wood are also close by. Students also love Tooting Market – a vibrant space with everything from independent stores to a brewery and a gin bar.

There are also local gyms within walking distance from campus. PureGym Wandsworth is open 24/7, and Tooting Leisure Centre offers a gym, swimming pool and sports court hire.

Finding your community

You’ll discover countless clubs and societies where you can develop skills and meet people from around the world. You might take a new fitness class or sign up for social initiatives such as the CourseBuddies scheme.

You can also expand your network through your faith. We have active societies for many faiths, and our Chaplaincy team offers an inclusive space open to all students, including multi-faith room where you can practise and pray.
