English National Ballet School is situated in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in south-west London, very close to the famous and fashionable King’s Road. The immediate area is residential with good shopping and restaurants near by and whilst a busy location, it does not have the stresses and congestion of London’s West End.

The students have easy access to some of the most famous landmarks and institutions in London, like the Royal Albert Hall, Royal College of Music and Harrods.

London offers students a wealth of opportunities to enhance their cultural and artistic development outside the School curriculum. The capital city offers the most exciting and vibrant arts community with thriving world-class ballet, theatre, opera, art galleries and museums.

Cultural visits to galleries, museums and performances are organised by the School as part of the academic curriculum, and students are also strongly encouraged to visit these venues independently. Such opportunities and experiences serve to augment their future careers in the theatre and the arts.

The School is well served by London Underground transport and bus services and is within safe walking distance of the living accommodation provided by nearby recommended hostels.
