UCL Student Centre: A london Experience

Christoff's take on this local spot

My Honest Review

Atmosphere & Ambiance

UCL Student Centre offers a unique atmosphere in london. The venue has its own character that sets it apart from similar establishments in the area. The UCL Student Centre café on Level 3 serves as the campus's go-to study fuel station and social hub. Grab barista coffee made with Union Circulo beans from Peru, or choose from an impressive grab-and-go selection including fresh Tanpopo sushi boxes, onigiri, maki rolls, rice snack boxes, daily soups, artisanal sandwiches, sausage rolls, pasties, fresh fruit, buttery croissants, and daily cakes. The bright, contemporary space accommodates both quick coffee runs and marathon study sessions with individual desks, collaborative zones, and silent study areas. Modern facilities include 24/7 access, IT services with computers and printing, library borrowing services, plus unique amenities like a roof terrace, wellbeing room, prayer room, showers, and lockers. Student-friendly pricing keeps most breakfast and lunch options under £5, with additional savings through the Neal Street Rewards loyalty app. Located at 27-28 Gordon Street in Bloomsbury, it's perfectly positioned near Euston, Euston Square, Goodge Street and Warren Street stations. The wheelchair-accessible venue buzzes with academic energy while maintaining a relaxed, casual atmosphere where friendly staff serve London's global university community.
