London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) is a private commercial business school with its main campuses located in the UK—London, Manchester, and Birmingham.

The administration and main campus are based in Sceptre Court, Tower Hill, London. Additionally, LSBF has international offices in Canada, Singapore, the Czech Republic, Bolivia, Russia, South Africa, Mauritius, and Kazakhstan.

The school is owned by the renowned corporate group Global University Systems (GUS).
LSBF was founded in 2003 by Russian entrepreneur Aaron (Arkady) Etingen. By 2015, it had grown into one of the largest private colleges in England. The business school started in a small attic at Hyde Park Corner with just four students.

By 2010, LSBF had expanded from a two-room office to multiple campuses in London (Tower Hill and Holborn), Manchester, and Birmingham.
In 2011, LSBF further expanded internationally, opening campuses in Toronto (Canada) and Singapore.

All LSBF campuses are equipped with modern classrooms, libraries, and sports centers. However, LSBF does not have the authority to award its own degrees.
All undergraduate and master's degrees in business and finance are awarded by partner universities, including Università Telematica Internazionale Uninettuno (Italy) and Grenoble Graduate School of Business (France). In early 2016, LSBF's license to sponsor international students was revoked.

Accommodation:
LSBF DOES NOT provide student housing, but accommodation services are available through the private housing agency FlatClub.
