ICON
College is centrally located in London, on the eastern border
of the City of London, the Capital's banking and financial
centre. It occupies a newly refurbished building in Adler
Street, London E1. This is close to Aldgate East underground
station and within easy walking distance of two main-line
railway stations (Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street).
The
College is also close to the Tower of London (a World
Heritage site) and the main tourist attractions of
St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the London Eye
and the Monument. The London's West End, which is
renowned for its theatres, art galleries and shopping,
is only a short bus or tube ride away.
Within
easy reach is the exciting new centre in the London
Docklands, based around Canary Wharf, with its many
new high-rise office blocks and the new EXCEL exhibition
Centre. The College is very near to the vibrant community
of Brick Lane, famous for its many Indian Restaurants
but now also recognised as a thriving centre for new
media, fashion and the arts.
The
excellent Whitechapel Art Gallery and colourful London street
markets of Whitechapel and Petticoat Lane are also within
easy walking distance from the college.
The
main East London Mosque, in Whitechapel, is less than 5
minutes walk away from the College, as are the local Synagogue
and several churches. To find out where ICON College
is check out the Travel
