FunTech’s London Coding Camp Venues

London is a hub of creativity and technology, and FunTech is proud to host summer coding classes in London at six outstanding venues. Each location is carefully chosen for accessibility, safety, and excellent facilities, ensuring every child enjoys the best learning experience.

1. Barbican 

Right in the heart of the City, our Barbican kids’ coding camp is a brilliant choice for families living in central or east London. With excellent tube connections and a lively cultural backdrop, it’s a convenient and inspiring place for kids to learn new tech skills while parents enjoy the ease of a central drop-off.

Popular courses we run at the Barbican venue include Minecraft Redstone Engineering, Python coding, and 3D Game Design. Because our class sizes are small, every child is guaranteed individual attention, which means they don’t just follow along but will really start to understand the code they’re writing.

2. Hammersmith

For west London families, our Hammersmith venue is a superb option for London summer coding classes. The venue is a short walk from major transport links; it’s an easy fit for parents managing busy schedules and commutes.

Here, children can start with any of our courses including beginner-friendly coding classes or take on more advanced challenges like Java programming for teens. It’s a modern and welcoming facilities provide a safe and engaging environment. As with all of our London venues, we have created a supportive atmosphere to make it simple for kids to settle in, make friends, and enjoy learning.

3. Northwood

Located in north-west London, our Northwood coding camp offers a calm and spacious setting that parents of younger learners particularly value. Surrounded by greenery, it feels relaxed and safe—perfect for children taking their very first steps into coding.

Courses here include Minecraft Coding, and Roblox Game Development. The mix of creative projects and essential digital skills makes Northwood a great base for building confidence while sparking excitement about technology.

4. Richmond

Our Richmond coding camp is one of the most popular for summer coding classes in London. Set in one of the capital’s most family-friendly areas and well connected by both train and underground, it’s easy to reach from across south-west London and Surrey.

The Richmond programme covers everything from Minecraft and Roblox through to Python and AI basics for teens. Parents often tell us they love how the courses balance fun with real academic challenge, and many children return year after year to continue their coding journey with us.

5. Westminster

For families in central and south London, our Westminster coding camp provides unrivalled convenience and a prestigious location. Set against the backdrop of London’s historic landmarks, children get to learn future-ready tech skills right in the heart of the capital.

Westminster courses include everything from Minecraft engineering for younger learners to AI machine learning for older kids into teens. The venue is ideal for working parents, with excellent transport links making drop-offs and pick-ups easy to fit into busy city routines.

6. Wimbledon

Our Wimbledon coding camp is a favourite with families in south-west London, thanks to its welcoming community feel and excellent facilities. It’s a lively and supportive setting where children can explore their creativity, develop new skills, and work together on exciting projects.

Younger learners here often begin with Beginner Coding, while older students move on to more advanced challenges such as 3D Game Design or Python problem-solving. The mix of fun and academic depth means children leave Wimbledon not just with new knowledge, but with the confidence and motivation to keep learning.
