 Queen Mary University London
Queen Mary, University of London combines great academics, the convenience of a centralized campus, and the excitement of a world-class city. Queen Mary, one of the larger colleges of the University of London, is an urban campus located in the East End, one of the oldest parts of London and the traditional base of working-class Londoners, the Cockneys. Today the area is culturally and socially mixed and is home to financial workers from the City, working-class families and immigrant groups from around the world. Green spaces, markets, shops, restaurants, traditional pubs and stylish bars are all located near the campus.
Queen Mary’s recently refurbished student’s union building is the social hub of the campus and houses a shop, café, athletic facilities, saunas and the popular ‘Draper’s Arms’ pub.
