Location
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 building in Adler Street, London E1. This is close to Aldgate East underground station and within easy walking distance from Whitechapel (Underground and Overground station), and 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 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 also 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 is several churches. To find out where ICON College is, check out the Travel Guide.
