SOCIALISING AT ULU
duck n dive

The Duck’n’Dive has been host to some of the wildest and cheapest nights in university history, and is central to student social life! It’s a chilled out environment for people to relax in between lectures, get a decent lunch or some bevvies after a hard day’s work! The emphasis in the “D&D�? is on value for money, and a great atmosphere.

Choose from huge plates of Nachos Grande and Cheesy Chips. Many a friendship has been forged over these mammoth meals! We offer a twist to modern European, Tex- Mex and world favourites, along with pub classics. Get in there early though, lunch gets busy!

Play...
Our digi-jukebox has all the best tunes from every genre, so there’s a soundtrack to your evening.

Clusters of lowslung sofas and coffee tables, it’s the perfect place to relax, brunch with friends, and chill out while watching the sun go down.

Health and fairtrade conscious...
We embrace diversity & ethical practices. The Gallery is totally non-smoking. We always have vegetarian & vegan options on the menu, as well as organic“Healthy Living�? and “Food for Conscience�? selections.

the venue
For over 50 years now ULU has played an integral role in the London Music Scene. From Pink Floyd to Coldplay, The Strokes to Bright Eyes, ULU – The Venue has witnessed some truly awesome gigs to sell out crowds.

ULU has a reputation for being the kind of venue that bands play on their way up, with many of the music greats gracing the ULU stage as relative unknowns. The Venue has a fantastic musical heritage and bands always enjoy playing to an audience renowned for their musical knowledge and keen eye for the next big thing.

ULU is in a truly privileged position: we operate within the realms of a normal student union with club-nights and student entertainment (see the next page), we also get to host some of the biggest gigs in London.
