Wimbledon College of Arts

The warm, close-knit community spirit of historic Wimbledon, our smallest College with just 1,100 students, is integral to its success in producing outstanding graduates of fine art, and theatre and screen design. An easy 15 minutes by train from the centre of London, its well-equipped studios, workshops and exhibition spaces are surrounded by leafy open spaces. Wimbledon’s range of specialist facilities include metal, wood, print, dye, costume, and technical arts and special effects workshops, as well as an animation suite, darkrooms, a sound studio, a film and video studio, and green screen facilities. The recent renovation of the 150-seat theatre to incorporate sound and film studios, along with the opening of a sustainable studio building has further enhanced the facilities there. Students comment that the College is far enough away from the centre of London to have space in which to think and work, but close enough to be able to access London’s rich cultural life.
