About London Leisure College
London Leisure College, first developed six years ago as a partnership between Greenwich Community College (GCC), the leading further education provider in Greenwich, and Greenwich Leisure Limited, London’s leading Leisure Trust and the 2004 UK Social Enterprise of the year. We developed our first base at the Valley, home of Charlton Athletic Football Club, as part of a partnership bid with the club to secure European funding to develop the North Stand.
We have continued our successful growth across London opening additional delivery centres at Crystal Palace and Etham in 2007, and continue to expand the number and range of partnerships with industry employers, colleges and training providers every year.
