There are 32 boroughs in Greater London, stretching from the City of London and Westminster, to surrounding areas like Chelsea, Camden, Richmond, Hackney and Islington.

It’s big, but it’s easy to jump on a train, tube or bus to experience everything on offer – from food pop-ups to world famous music acts, free museums and West End shows.

Fantastically diverse and historical, with many industries and businesses based here to kickstart your career, London is one of the most desirable – if pricey – cities in the world.

Campus and facilities

Camden Campus (London): Was first constructed in the 1930s on our founding site from 1791. Since then, learning and teaching developments have advanced enormously and, in recognition of this, over the past few years the RVC has invested approximately £14 million in modernising its Camden estate. The recent renovation of the Hobday Building marked the most extensive redevelopment the campus has seen in over 80 years. Students can now enjoy new teaching rooms, extra social learning spaces, an extended dining facility and larger common rooms. 

Hawkshead Campus (Hertfordshire): The 365 acre estate is considered self-contained, so students will find everything you will need; modern  lecture theatres, laboratories, a large library, learning resource centre, Sports & Wellbeing Centre and restaurant. It is home to the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals (one of the largest and most advanced veterinary hospitals in the world) and the state-of-the-art Equine Hospital.
