Welcome to the University of Bedfordshire! This resource is meant to help you get to know your campus and the surrounding area!
Your Campus
The London School of Commerce at London Bridge is located in Chaucer House, White Hart Yard, London SE1 1NX, a quiet street in the bustling heart of Southwark. Just a two-minute walk from Borough Market, there is no lack for things to do off-campus. On-campus amenities include: a library (inaccessible to the physically disabled), and a student common room with coffee machines and microwaves.
Beds SU advice: don’t count on the common room. There is often a long queue for the microwaves and seats are somewhat scarce during break-times. Get off campus and explore the excitement of Borough Market and the surrounding areas!
