About this Event

PLEASE NOTE, THIS EVENT REGISTRATION PAGE IS FOR THE SENATE HOUSE (UOL) EVENTS ONLY. You can register for the UCL Student Centre events HERE.


Many of us love fashion, but it can have a huge impact on the environment and the people who make our clothes.

UCL and University of London will be collaborating to bring you regular Clothes Swaps, free of charge, throughout the year!


Our Clothes Swap events will be held on the first Friday of October, November, December, February, March, and May this year.


  • Four of them will be held in the foyer of the UCL Student Centre (October 4th, November 1st, February 7th, March 7th)
  • Two of them will be held nearby, at The University of London’s Senate House (December 6th, May 2nd)

Please double check you are going to the right location.


All of these events are open to staff and students from any the 17 University of London federation member institution, which includes UCL.


How it works

  1. Bring along your preloved clothing that you want to swap, at any time during 9.30am-4pm.
  2. Browse the clothes available in the Clothes Swap - it'll be constantly changing throughout the day!
  3. Swap your preloved clothing for these clothes.
  4. If you don't see anything you like, collect a tag and come along to a future Clothes Swap to find something there that you'd like to swap.
  5. No resellers please.


Did you know?

The UK discards 711,000 tonnes of textiles per year.

The production of clothes involves a series of energy-intensive processes, including raw material extraction, spinning, weaving, dyeing, printing, and transportation. Swapping clothes is therefore an excellent way to be more sustainable – as production of clothing has an enormous carbon footprint.

Buying clothes second-hand reduces its impact by an average of 70%.

Textile manufacturing uses huge amounts of water, much of which gets flushed into waterways laden with contaminants such as bleaches, acids, inks and dyes. Farmers in parts of China and India can reportedly predict fashion’s next biggest hues by the colour of rivers tainted by textile industry runoff. Workers in developing nations are often paid a pittance to work in unsafe conditions.
