An inspirational estate

Working in Bloomsbury campus is unlike anywhere else in the world. It’s within London’s ‘Museum Mile’, a collection of 13 world-class museums showcasing more than a million objects (UCL owns three of the 13). It isn’t just museums – you can also enjoy the capital’s finest garden squares, some of the nation’s leading teaching hospitals and an array of quirky cafes and fabulous places to eat. Plus you’re within 10 minutes walk from three of the UK’s largest train stations – taking you directly to Paris, Brussels, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Cambridge and many more exciting destinations.

Our Transforming UCL project is the largest capital programme in the university’s history and marks a turning point in the size, scope and capability of our estate. The substantial investment of more than £1.2 billion over the next 10 years will refurbish and develop some spans traditional academic of our most iconic buildings, while also creating new world-class buildings. Together, these will enable and support the university’s continued growth as we continue to build our global view now and for the future.

UCL East UCL East is our new campus on London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It will be the largest-ever single expansion of UCL since the university was founded nearly 200 years ago. Envisaged as a radical new model for how a university campus can be embedded in the community, it will provide world-leading research, education, entrepreneurship and innovation. UCL East will undeniably be part of UCL’s DNA, building on and embodying our position as London’s Global University. But it will also be original in its scope, reach and connections with the local community, the urban surroundings and the Olympic Park. It will be a place for new activities and initiatives at UCL, nurturing creativity and supporting interaction between disciplines.
