The conservatoire has 1,250 undergraduate and postgraduate students based at three campuses in Greenwich (Trinity), Deptford and New Cross (Laban).

In 1881, the College moved to Mandeville Place off Wigmore Street in central London, which remained its home for over a hundred years.

These were finally united in 1922 with the addition of a Grecian portico, and substantial internal reconstruction to create a first floor concert hall and an impressive staircase.

To make the buildings suitable for Trinity's use and remove the accretions of a century of RNC occupation required a substantial refurbishment programme.

Work to provide new recital rooms revealed that the building's core incorporates masonry from the Tudor palace.

In the past, freemasonry was an important though private feature of the life of the College, among both members of staff and the undergraduate and postgraduate men.

In 1958, the school moved from Manchester to Addlestone in Surrey, and then in 1975 to New Cross in London, where it was renamed the Laban Centre for Movement and Dance.

The Faculty of Dance also provides classes for adults and young people on the local community, including the Centre for Advanced Training.
