Our £21m purpose-built centre in Covent Garden opened in 2005. Designed by award-winning architects Allies and Morrisson, the building provides some of the best adult education facilities in the UK and with our location in the heart of London's West End, makes City Lit a unique place to learn.

- Brand new cafe - The Lunchroom - brought to you by the same people behind the cafes at The British Museum and the Natural History Museum.
- 56 modern teaching rooms and eight tutorial rooms with interactive whiteboards
