Facilities
In September 2023 London College of Fashion (LCF), UAL, moved to a new campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP), as part of a new development for London known as East Bank, the UK's newest cultural quarter for innovation, creativity and learning at the heart of QEOP in Stratford, east London.
Our specialist facilities provide students with a wide variety of equipment, tools and resources including sample and sewing rooms, science laboratories, make-up studios, virtual and augmented reality suites and technical workshops. We are also home to an exceptional fashion library and archive and a wide range of technologies including garment visualisation and wearable technology.
