The City Literary Institute
3451 programmes
City Lit is London's adult education institution like no other — a place where you might study medieval literature in the morning and pottery in the afternoon, Latin alongside British Sign Language. Founded in 1919 to provide education for returning soldiers, it remains dedicated to learning for its own sake. Their curriculum is genuinely eclectic: from academic subjects like classical civilisation and creative writing through practical crafts like bookbinding and printmaking to holistic practices including Theta Healing. This breadth reflects their mission of lifelong learning rather than purely vocational training. For older teenagers and young adults interested in exploring subjects beyond school or college curricula, City Lit offers a unique environment. Their BSL courses are particularly renowned, while the ceramics and print studios attract serious practitioners. It's education as enrichment, not just employment.
