The Faculty of Life Sciences is primarily based at UCL’s historic Bloomsbury campus in central London. Situated in the vibrant district of Gower Street, the area is home to several departments and research centres, and is within walking distance of major transport hubs such as Euston and King’s Cross. Surrounded by renowned institutions including the British Museum, the Wellcome Collection, and the British Library, Bloomsbury provides an inspiring academic setting enriched by culture, science, and student life. Its strong links with leading research centres, including the Francis Crick Institute and hospitals such as UCLH, further enhance opportunities for collaboration and innovation.

Alongside its historic base, the Faculty has expanded to UCL East, the university’s newest campus in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford. This state-of-the-art site, set among iconic landmarks such as the London Aquatics Centre and the ArcelorMittal Orbit, strengthens opportunities for cross-disciplinary work and community engagement. Together, Bloomsbury and UCL East reflect the Faculty’s commitment to academic excellence, accessibility, and forward-thinking research in dynamic environments.
