London School of Dramatic Art
The London School of Dramatic Art is an drama school based in South Kensington in London that offers training for those intending to pursue a professional career in acting.
The School
The School was initially set up by actor Jake Taylor and casting director Urvashi Chand. Jake, a graduate of Drama Centre, London, is currently the Principal. Urvashi is co-director, while continuing her work as a casting director.

Previous staff have included Helen Dallimore, Alicya Eyo and Ruth Carney.
Courses
