Mobility
Both our Crowndale Road and Kentish Town sites are older buildings. Crowndale Road dates from the early 1900s and is a listed building. This means that some of our rooms will be difficult to access if you have mobility issues. If you are a wheelchair user or have disability related to your mobility, please check with us before enrolling so that we can make sure you can access the classroom or studio in your chosen subject. Contact Learner Services team and they will arrange for you to speak with our Disability Officer.
