 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
25 Gordon Street London WC1H 0AH T 020 7387 3611 F 020 7916 8533 www.uclu.org UCL Union is England’s oldest students’ union, with the mens’ union being founded in 1893 (and the women following four years later) in the interest of ‘the promotion of social intercourse and of the means of recreation, physical and mental, of the students of University College, and the financial successes of students’ clubs’. Today it still exists to provide UCL students’ with everything they need outside of academia, and is run by an Executive of sixteen elected members (six full-time sabbatical and ten part-time) and employing over 100 permanent staff. UCL Union life starts on Gordon Street, WC1; at No. 15 we have the Bloomsbury Theatre Building, comprising a 500 capacity professional auditorium, in which our members perform twelve weeks of the year and also our outstanding Rights & Advice Centre on the first floor. Further still, on the second floor is the purpose- built Clubs & Societies Centre (CSC) where our 150 different clubs and societies can meet, organise and administrate themselves, plus the innovative Voluntary Services Unit. The third floor houses our million-pound Bloomsbury Fitness Suite, including a gym, dojo, dance studio and squash courts. Further up the road, the real hive is the building at 25 Gordon Street, which keeps our two bars, café, hair salon, shop (there’s another one in the basement of the Bloomsbury) and sabbatical office from falling out into the road. Come down on Mondays for bhangra and shisha, Tuesday for live music and jazz jamming, Thursday night for our infamous quiz and monthly Fridays for resident LGBT night Aspire. Don’t forget to go and say hello to the medics at our Huntley Street bar, and get the laughs in at the Ministry of Comedy on Wednesdays. Outside Bloomsbury, we also have an impressive sports facility at Shenley, near St. Albans (comprising over thirty different pitches and the training space of Premier League side Watford FC) which, together with our indoor Somers Town Sports Centre in Camden helped UCLU sports teams win no less than 17 leagues and trophies last year. Required reading is our newly rejiggered website, www.uclunion.org which is a turbo- charged repository of UCLUness, and up-to-the-second information on what’s going on around Gordon Street.  |
