London College of Beauty Therapy announces relocation of campus
By Rebecca Hitchon | 05 April 2025 | News

Having outgrown its campus in Ramillies House, Soho, the London College of Beauty Therapy (LCBT) is moving to another premises.
Its new home in Fashion Street, in the heart of Shoreditch, will allow the college to expand its provision and train more students via a newly-refurbished building. Plans include to add a range of advanced courses to its roster of specialist post-16 diplomas and short courses in beauty therapy, make-up and hairdressing.
The London College of Beauty Therapy has partnered with the Scratch Stars Awards since the event’s inception 13 years ago. It offers up space for finalists in the artistic and technical categories to showcase their skills in a practical competition.
The campus move comes as LCBT prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary, and the first students will begin studying at the Shoreditch premises in late spring 2025, following refit and installation of furniture and equipment.
LCBT was acquired by the Fashion Retail Academy in 2024: both of which form part of Education For Industry Group. Its CEO, Lee Lucas, comments: “Over the last three decades, LCBT has had an enormous impact on beauty education, having trained thousands of students to take up careers across the make-up, hair and beauty industries.
“To continue this legacy, we have secured a beautiful campus building on Fashion Street in Shoreditch, where thousands more beauty students will learn the skills they need to succeed in today’s fast-growing industry.”
