About Us

about_us

The Arts and Business College of London (ABC London) is based in central London in an area called Bloomsbury. This historical area is known all over the world for its literary, arts and cultural heritage. Many famous people have lived in Bloomsbury and visitors from all over the globe still visit today. ABC London is also close to London’s most visited attraction – the British Museum, adjoining the rear garden of our building.

ABC London was set up by a team of industry skilled academics to serve the UK, EU and International student community with the very best that the UK education has to offer. We believe that creativity, innovation and business education are essential for success in this ever-changing world. Background theory is essential to learning and understanding concepts, however we firmly believe that only relevant industry time-served staff can provide students with the skills necessary to gain their full potential – this is why ABC London do not employ tutors that have just passed through courses then enrolled straight into teaching. They must have relevant practical working experience in the area they intend to teach.

This is reflected in our college Vision and Mission:
Our vision is to create a new generation of young leaders that can contribute to the success and cohesion of the international community. Our mission is thus ‘to provide a nurturing and inspiring learning environment, through industry expertise; focus on arts and business; and by making the most of our culturally rich location.’
