One record matters more than any ranking when reading a university page: the Home Office register of student sponsors, which is what permits an institution to issue the CAS a student visa requires. BPP University is on it. The visa itself is set out at UK visas and immigration.

What is campus and student life like in London?
BPP University teaches from buildings in city centres rather than a campus, with several centres in London and further centres in Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Bristol. It runs no halls of its own, so accommodation is private student housing or rented flats.
The Portsoken building in London is within walking distance of the financial district, and law students work in classrooms laid out as courtrooms alongside a free legal clinic. The careers service is oriented to placement after qualification.
