Help us remember Central Saint Martins

In just two years time we’ll be moving to a state-of-the-art campus at Kings Cross. It’s an exciting time for us, but it means we’ll be leaving behind buildings we’ve occupied for a century.

We’ve had a presence on Charing Cross Road since 1913 and the Southampton Row building was finished in 1907 at the top of the newly built Kingsway. That’s a lot of history, and we want to make sure we create a comprehensive record of our relationship with our buildings before we leave. During the next 12 months we’ll be asking staff and students to contribute to a ‘warts and all’ record of a year in the life of the College. We want to collect photographs, films, words and drawings for an online gallery and exhibition. Everything you contribute will go into our archive.

Here are some images, mostly from the 1930s, for your delectation!

    Ah………….
    What can I say?
    I spent a lot in the bar dreaming up ideas to throw onto the canvas or creat a sculpture that meant so much to me but no one else had a clue!! Late 80s early 90s. So much going on. So much change.
    Love it. Loved the freedom to just be.Thats what it is all about changing and evolving.
    Thank you and good luck to you
    I wish you the best of luck
