The School of Pharmacy is located near the University of London's Bloomsbury campus, near the British Museum. Intercollegiate residence halls are a short walk away, as are the sports facilities at the University of London Union. The school has its own facilities for teaching and research, a library, computer and multimedia unit, refectory and junior common room. While the academic expectations are high, the atmosphere is friendly and informal because of the small size.
