A leading art school has apologised after a swastika was hung from its central hall.

Central Saint Martins University of the Arts London said a student had displayed a large red banner with the Nazi symbol, as part of an installation, despite being forbidden to do so by his tutor and by Professor Jeremy Till, the principal of the university.

One Jewish student was “shocked” to see the Nazi symbol as she made her way to class.

“There was nothing around it that explains that it is part of any sort of installation. It looks so isolated and shocking. It is disgusting. It isn’t art.

“The majority of people around were not even taking on board that this was horrific. People were laughing and joking,” she said.
