Based in the heart of the city
London is a diverse and vibrant city, home to nine million people and an estimated 400,000 students from over 200 countries. With its rich mix of history, culture and entertainment – studying in London is an experience like no other.
Our students are at the core of a thriving film industry surrounded by countless production companies, film studios, cinemas and post-production houses. Thousands of creative jobs are generated by London’s screen industries and with this sector expanding, the demand for skilled craftspeople and creative talent in the city is more necessary than ever.
Central London offers LFS students access to industry events and opportunities to network with professionals. There are often events for students held in collaboration with like-minded film organisations (e.g. Sundance London, DocSociety and filmmakers in the capital). Social events happen each term as well as lectures and debates, parties and subsidised travel trips in the UK and overseas film festivals and markets.
At London Film School, students are never short on inspiration. Situated in Covent Garden, in the heart of London, within walking distance of West End theatres, Leicester Square cinemas and the production hubs of Soho and Fitzrovia. Nearby too, are the famous cultural landmarks of the Royal Opera House, the National Gallery, the British Museum, the British Film Institute Library, BFI Southbank, the National Theatre and Bertha DocHouse to name a few.
All LFS students have access to the LSE Student Union membership. There are a huge number of clubs and societies that you can join as well impressive sports and gym facilities. The clubs and societies allow a chance to connect with other students and join their social events, as well as access to both of the LSE SU buildings in the southwest corner of Lincolns Inn Fields.
Established in 1897, the LSE Students’ Union is among the oldest student unions in the UK and serves as the main representative and campaigning body for students at the LSE.
