History
Originally the Borough Polytechnic Institute, we laid down roots in south London in 1892 and has been improving the lives of students, businesses and the local community ever since.
Our original aim 'to promote the industrial skill, general knowledge, health and well-being of young men and women' remains central to our mission today.
Education
Our academic staff deliver an innovative curriculum. All staff enhance professional opportunities by combining their own knowledge of developed practice with education theory. As well as their academic backgrounds, you'll find staff have an impressive range of professional expertise and are often invited to act as consultants for external enterprises. As a leading provider of fully accredited professional courses and excellent industry links, a qualification from LSBU is recognised across the world.
Research
Our Research Centres are externally facing beacons of innovative, timely research, with an international reputation for achievement and innovation. A key role is to catalyse and support collaborations and work with the Research Groups to enable academics to learn from their peers and support the development of early career researchers.

Housing services
LSBU is a part of the UUK which protects our students’ rights to safe, high-quality accommodation. This ensures our students get the best out of their time living in our residences. It outlines everything students can expect from our us as well as their responsibilities as tenants. The Code has already raised standards of accommodation at LSBU and underpins our ongoing dedication to our students. We are fully committed to providing safe, comfortable living environments which will help support our students in leading a successful and enjoyable student life.
Library services
LSBU has three library buildings - the Perry Library on Southwark Campus, which holds items for all LSBU courses, Havering Campus Library, which holds items for health-related courses, and Croydon Campus Library.
We have a range of study environments for individual and group learning, course materials, online information resources, as well as over 230,000 books and DVDs.
Medical services
We strongly advise students to register with a doctor as soon as you enrol so that you can obtain immediate medical advice and assistance if you fall ill or have an accident.
Information on registering with a local GP is available on the NHS website and provided during Welcome Week. The closest GP surgery to the Southwark Campus is Princess Street Surgery.
Campus life
- LSBU’s Southwark campus is in Elephant and Castle. It’s our main campus and has been our home since 1892.
- Our new Croydon campus is now open and will play a key role in our mission to transform lives, communities, businesses and society, through applied education. Croydon is fast becoming one of London's largest growth centres and our new home in Electric House is the first and only university in this ambitious community.
- Away from the bustle and hustle of the city (which we know isn’t for everyone), Havering is a warm, welcoming and friendly campus environment. Classes are small and the campus has a tight knit community, which enables students to make friends and socialise with each other.
Sports facilities
We offer quality gym facilities, services and programmes to LSBU students, staff and the community. There is a 20+ station Fitness Suite, equipped with SMART Centre Technology for better performance monitoring and progression, as well as a selection of Free Weights including dumbbells from 2.5kg – 50kg and a Multi-Purpose Olympic Rack.
The gym also provides therapy services, personal fitness programmes and Personal Training, as well as an extensive Group Exercise Studio Timetable

South Bank Students’ Union (SBSU) is the center of student life on campus and home to a number of key services and activities designed to help you get the most out of your student experience.
