More about the Uxbridge Campus
|
Brunel's campus is based in Uxbridge on the western edge of London. Uxbridge is in a prime location for reaching the transport network that embraces London and SE England. It is a short drive from the M4, M40 and M25 and has the added benefit of being on the edge of the London Underground network. There are also numerous bus routes running close to the campus. Entrance to the campus is via Kingston Lane.

All Your Needs on One Campus
The big plus of living in a campus-based university is that the majority of your needs are catered for on-site, including the Library and Computer Centre, academic and teaching buildings, welfare services, catering and social facilities and even the halls of residence, if you are living in University accommodation.
You can organise most of your day-to-day needs without leaving the campus. There is a bank, a pharmacy, and two general shops where you can buy groceries, newspapers, stationery and even top up your phone card, Oyster card and local travel card. The Computer Centre sells a range of IT-related products such as printers, network cables, memory sticks and disks, and the Students’ Union hosts a weekly fruit and veg market and Fairtrade stalls.

Town Life
The local area will fulfil your weekly needs, whether you’re after shops, cinemas or pubs. The town of Uxbridge itself, which still has buildings dating back to its time as a Georgian market town, is a thriving commercial and business centre. Its major shopping complexes, The Pavilions and the Chimes Centre, boast a wide range of shops, cafes and a nine-screen multiplex cinema.
London a Tube Ride Away
The University is just a 20-minute walk – or a short bus ride – from Uxbridge underground station, so it is a straightforward journey into the centre of the capital. There is also a night bus that can bring you from central London to the edge of the campus.
