Avery Hill campus is set in 86 acres of parkland, with good road and rail links to London and Kent. There are plenty of car parking spaces on both the Mansion and Southwood sites.

The Mansion site was previously the home of the 19th century tycoon, Colonel North, and still retains some of North's grander improvements -including the listed former Great Hall, now the campus library. North's Winter Garden, with its beautiful Victorian glass dome, is also a listed building

Mansion site is the main academic site for the campus, with four lecture theatres - seating between 90 and 200 - and 16 classrooms that can hold up to 50 people. There is a television studio on site and the Arts Centre has now become a large, modern computer suite. A full range of audio visual equipment is available. Catering is provided in the newly-refurbished Coffee Shop, where counter service meals and buffets for up to 120 can be provided.
