By 2010 Central Saint Martins will be re-located to a brand new site in King's Cross.
Saint Martins School of Art (founded in 1896) has existed in its current location on Charing Cross Road since 1913. It is amongst the oldest art college in London with many famous alumni. The site at Charing Cross Road is bustling with creative energy in the heart of the city, with the rich wealth of Soho, museums and art galleries right on its doorstep.
Apart from its excellent central location, the buildings of Charing Cross rd and Southampton Row have so much inspiring history and character to work with.
I am rather dismayed that it will move to King's Cross to an enormous institutional-style building. In my eyes, by moving the college would lose the only thing it has managed to keep hold of since becoming swallowed up into the university of the arts.
The college moving is the final straw in the art college losing its identity and becoming engulfed in the commercial university system.

Hello, my name is Rose and I am a current 3rd year Fine Art Student at Saint Martins. As you may or may not be aware by 2010 the whole of Central Saint Martins bar Byam Shaw School of Art will be moving to a brand new site in King's Cross.
Saint Martins School of Art (founded in 1986) has existed in its current location on Charing Cross Road since 1913. It is amongst the oldest art college in London and the list of famous alumni is endless. The site at Charing Cross Road has played host to many famous events.
Central Saint Martins has become the main focus of my final year work. I am interested in producing work in response to the site move in 2010 but I want to hear other people's views.
If you are a St Martins student past or present I would love to hear from you. Any stories you have and would like to share, particularly memories from Charing Cross Road, post them up here. Could be anything from your experiences at the college to how you feel about the site move.
