Our vision for White City Campus is to build a place where great ideas grow.

We've already made huge progress, with new buildings now home to thousands of researchers, academics, businesses and residents, as well as spaces which welcome the local community.

Next is the 14-acre south site, stretching between the Westway and Wood Lane. It will bring new workspaces and labs for innovation and research, new homes and cafés, restaurants and amenities. At the heart of the site will be a new public square, with gardens and planting, event spaces for performances and exhibitions – all connected by walkways and green spaces, making White City a more vibrant and sustainable place to study, live and work.

On this page you can find details of the current development plots that Imperial is delivering at White City Campus.

A new East-West Link, under the railway line, will connect the communities of White City and North Kensington. The East-West Link will create a new safe and accessible route for pedestrians and cyclists.
