As of 2021, Imperial College Business School's teaching and research will be spread across two campuses: the College's historic home at the heart of South Kensington; and its major, new, innovation community in White City.

South Kensington Campus

Imperial College Business School is situated in the heart of London, within easy reach of the city’s financial centre. We are in the middle of London’s museum district and a short stroll from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.

We are served well by London’s public transport system, and the city centre and Heathrow Airport are within easy reach by public transport.
