LSBU Croydon opened in 2022 with a mission to transform lives, communities, businesses and society through applied education.
Our Croydon campus is the latest in a string of exciting developments in one of London’s most ambitious areas. Home to big businesses, entrepreneurs and a unique South London buzz, Croydon is one of the city’s biggest growth centres, and we’re playing our part in its regeneration. We are easily accessible; our central Croydon location offers great public transport links to and from Central London and the south of England, and is just a 14-minute train journey to Gatwick airport. We are a 5-minute walk from East Croydon station, a 9-minute walk from West Croydon station and there are many bus routes and tram stops within a few minutes of the campus.
