After a year off campus, or having never been in campus, we heard that many students would benefit from having the resources on hand to know their way around campus, specifically the Life Sciences buildings. We also aim to include information on transport, accessibility, best study sites and the best food on and close to campus!
Here you can find all the information you need to know about getting to and around UCL in one place, as well as extra notes on the best places to eat and study.
