Founded in 1854 as the Lambeth School of Art,[1] the City and Guilds of London Art School is a small specialist art college[2] located in central London, England. Originally founded as a government art school,[3] it is now an independent, not-for-profit charity, and is one of the country's longest established art schools. It offers courses ranging from art and design Foundation, through to BA (Hons) undergraduate degrees and MA postgraduate courses in fine art, carving, conservation, and art histories. In addition, it offers the only undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Britain in stone and wood carving: historic architectural stone and ornamental woodcarving and gilding.[4]
The Art School is housed in a row of Georgian buildings in London's Kennington district,[5] as well as in an adjoining converted warehouse building close to the south bank of the river Thames.
