Prime Location

Maritime Greenwich College is located in one of the main cultural, social and financial centre of the world - London. All of our programmes have the opportunity to take advantage of these unlimited resources and networking opportunities. The College has two campuses in Woolwich, both in South-East London. Each campus is a dedicated teaching centre for a given set of subjects and a bustling centre of learning with its own individual character. Both campuses are in prime locations with reference to transport infrastructure linking them to the centre of London and the local area. Our both campuses contains an architecturally-distinctive building in the very heart of Woolwich town centre. These campus gives immediate access to all the excitement and learning resources of the borough, including local libraries, parks and gardens where students can sit to read or take a break. Students can also have easy access to Central London which is only about 15-25 minutes away from the campuses.
