Kensington College of Business

The building is located in the center of London in Holborn, referred to as "midtown," enabling students to live or work anywhere in and around London and still be able to access the College. Our physical location partly accounts for the College's longstanding ties with the corporate and professional sectors to which it has provided training and consultancy services. The College is within a short walking distance of key legal institutions, notably the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court, Inns of Court, leading law firms, and barrister chambers. Students at KCB have the opportunity to gain cross-cultural experiences due to the cosmopolitan nature of London life and the international nature of the students at KCB.
