London Study Center
Accent's London
Our Neighborhood
Bedford Square is a late 18th-century garden square in the heart of Bloomsbury — the eponymous home of the Bloomsbury Group of English writers, artists, and intellectuals who included Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, and E. M. Forster. Today Bloomsbury is London’s university district with easy walking distance to the University of London, the British Museum, and the British Library.
The Study Center
Just steps from the British Museum, Accent London occupies a beautifully restored, elegant Georgian building with original shutters, moldings, and fireplaces. We actively collaborate with our Bedford Square neighbors and constituent colleges of the University of London.
Global Learning in London
Each year, the London team supports more than 50 customized study abroad programs. Our partners include the University of California Education Abroad Program, Michigan State University, University of Southern California, Washington University in St. Louis, Colgate University, Texas Christian University and many more. Academic highlights include:
