In September 2023 London College of Fashion moved to a new campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, as part of a new development for London known as East Bank, the UK’s newest cultural quarter for innovation, creativity and learning at the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, east London. East Bank is a unique collaboration that brings the arts, learning and creativity together in one place for the local community and everyone who visits, lives and works in east London.

This campus sits alongside new sites for other world leading organisations including Sadler’s Wells, V&A and BBC as well as Loughborough University and UCL. We want to increase opportunities for collaboration and to build a different community focused on fashion but with lots of influences from our new neighbours and from the local area.

The move is more than just a building, and we are working already with local, national and international partners to bring benefits to our current students, staff and alumni, focusing on four major priorities:

• Delivering excellent fashion education for all who choose it.
• Encouraging enterprise and incubation to support our students, alumni and the wider fashion economy.
• Driving impactful research to effect change and innovation.
• Building better lives, for a sustainable and socially conscious future.

We’re not saying goodbye to our historic roots, with our Lime Grove campus developing into a centre of excellence to house all our UAL pre-degree courses building a vibrant community in west London. Find out more by visiting our pre-degree courses page.

Our new building is being designed by architects Allies and Morrison to become a 21st century workshop, its design is inspired by the 19th century mill buildings common to many industrial cities. It will be day-lit and naturally ventilated, with factory-like steel-framed windows, internal atria for flexible learning, and lots of green spaces.
