Chelsea College of Arts

Chelsea College of Arts is one of London's most prestigious art and design colleges. We offer courses in curating, fine art, graphic design communication, textile design and interior and spatial design.

Chelsea has just over 1,400 students. The College’s small size and supportive atmosphere make studying here feel more like being part of a community.

You will learn the practical, theoretical and professional elements of your subject from our expert staff. It is a place where experimentation, ideas and concepts are encouraged to develop.

The College's Grade ll listed Pimlico site, located in central London, overlooks Tate Britain and the River Thames. It has well-equipped workshops, extensive library facilities, a canteen and an onsite gallery, Chelsea Space.

Living in halls of residence
Our students live in a wide variety of locations across London and choose where they live based on a number of things such as travel time to college, cost of accommodation and how close they are to friends. Housing options include halls of residence, private renting, house shares and living at home. The cost of private renting depends on the area in which you want to live.

Chelsea College of Arts is located in Pimlico, in central London. Overlooking Tate Britain and the river Thames, it is a fantastic location to study art and design.
 

Our central London location makes it very easy to get to and from any other part of the city. Pimlico is also close to other vibrant and interesting areas such as the West End, South Bank, Brixton and Peckham. It is also easily accessible from areas such as Islington, Shoreditch and Camden. Pimlico and Vauxhall underground stations are within walking distance of the College and both stations are on the Victoria Line.
