Top 10 Instagram spots at UCL 

It's no wonder UCL Instagram has over 40,000 followers!

Here's our top 10 guide to UCL's most instagrammable places.

10. Grant Museum of Zoology

The Grant Museum is full of the weird and wonderful, including the incredible Micrarium - a back-lit cave of 2300 microscope slides giving a glimpse of the vast diversity of animal life.

 

9. School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES)

Inside and out, the architectural design of SSEES is something quite special with its quirky shapes and angles. 

8. Gower Street - Waterstones bookshop

An iconic sight in Bloomsbury, UCL students have been using this bookshop for 85 years!

7. Wilkins Terrace

The favourite new space to hangout on campus, Wilkins Terrace looks just as good by night (if not better!) as it does by day.

6. UCL Main Library

The picturesque Donaldson Reading Room is UCL's original library built back in 1849 and is still a much sought after study spot.

5. Bartlett School of Architecture

Home to arguably the best staircase at UCL, 22 Gordon Street is always worth a visit to see the latest showcases by our architecture students.

4. Cruciform Building

Named for its aerial view in the shape of a cross, the striking red brick Cruciform Building was designed in 1896 as a hospital and only became a part of UCL in 1995.

3. Gordon Square Garden

Strolling through Gordon Square Garden is a great escape from London's bustling city life and is especially stunning during spring and autumn.

2. The Flaxman Gallery

The Flaxman Gallery featuring 'St. Michael Overcoming Satan' is the largest collection of works by British sculptor John Flaxman. The gallery also appeared in UCL alumnus Christopher Nolan's film Inception!

1. The Portico

And you probably guessed it - the Portico is our #1 Instagram spot on campus...because do you really even go to UCL if you haven't posted a Portico snap?!
