With a fantastic food scene, a great night life and streets full of independent shops, it’s no wonder York is such a popular place to visit and call home.

Explore York’s Roman, Viking and medieval past and walk the city walls. Discover the city’s culture, food scene, festivals and friendly community. York railway station is on the East Coast Main Line, so it’s easy to get here from London, Edinburgh and other major cities. From York you’ll have easy access to rolling countryside, bustling beach towns, and other exciting cities like Leeds and Manchester.

The city of York is an amazing home for us. When you study at York St John it will be a home for you too.
