City Lit is an adult education college in Holborn, central London, founded by the London County Council in 1919, which has charitable status. It offers part-time courses across four schools and five "centres of expertise", covering humanities and sciences, languages, performing arts, visual arts, deaf education, family learning, community outreach, learning disabilities education, speech therapy and universal skills.[2]

In 2011, City Lit was graded as "outstanding" by government inspectors Ofsted.[3] Then, in 2016, it was ranked "outstanding" for "personal development, behaviour and welfare" and "good" in four other categories.[3] More recently in May 2023, City Lit was graded as "outstanding" by Ofsted [4] in all five categories which are: The quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and adult learning programmes.
