City of Lincoln

Lincoln’s Roman and medieval heritage blend together seamlessly with modern city living and our main campus is situated in the heart of it all on the spectacular Brayford Pool waterfront. 

Within walking distance of our campus is a range of restaurants, cafes and bars overlooking the marina area, while the city’s high street is just a short walk away, offering a mix of independent stores and national brands and chains. 

Our Historic City

The city’s famous Steep Hill – a beautiful, cobbled street lined with boutique shops and tearooms – provides the gateway to the city’s historic Cathedral Quarter and Bailgate area where independent shops and cafes nestle between the walls of the medieval Lincoln Castle and the grandeur of Lincoln Cathedral. 

Thousands of tourists flock to the city each year to visit the Castle, which is home to one of only four surviving originals of the 1215 Magna Carta and the only place in the world this landmark document – sometimes called the foundation of democracy – can be seen side-by-side with the related Charter of the Forest. 

Watching over the city, Lincoln Cathedral is one of Europe’s most celebrated medieval buildings, providing the stunning setting for our graduation ceremonies.
