Something we don't talk about enough is how fabulous the area that we work in is. WC1N is Bloomsbury, the historic home of the Bloomsbury set - an influential group of early 20th century writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists.
The area remains a hub of creativity, with street upon street of elegant Georgian town houses and Cockpit Arts, is at its heart.
So, when you come to join us for a course in London there is a host of restaurants and cafes, wonderful architecture, entertainment, open spaces and shopping to enjoy right on your doorstep.

As a location we couldn't be easier to get to. Cockpit Arts is equidistant between Russell Square, Holborn and Chancery Lane underground stations and a short walk from the newly-transformed Kings Cross.
Waterloo station and the West End are a short bus ride away. Take a look at our local map to see just how easy it is. We hope that we've tempted you to a visit.
Until next week happy shoemaking!
