Where is Italia Conti campus?

Italia Conti of Theatre Arts is based in Woking, Surrey — which is situated in Zone 6 of the London tube map. Its proximity to the bustle of central London and the peaceful suburbia of Surrey means a wide array of student accommodation options are available.

The university has a relatively small faculty; however, this enables a high level of connection between students and teachers — so it’s important for your accommodation to be within a reasonable distance to balance commuting with contact time.

As a student, living in Woking provides you with the best of both worlds. With the Surrey countryside just a stone’s throw away, and London within 20 miles, you’ll get the ultimate combination of charming countryside life and easy-to-access big city facilities.

The main campus can be found at 2 Henry Plaza, Victoria Way, Woking, Surrey, GU21 6BU.
