About this Event

Since it was founded in 1826, UCL (University College London) has been a place for different views and ideas, attracting people from all over the world.

During Graduation Week, our guided walking tour gives graduates the chance to show off where they studied to friends and family, discovering - and rediscovering - the people and places that have shaped our iconic Bloomsbury campus.

The tour blends historical facts and moments with the stories of people who studied and worked at UCL over the past 200 years, showing how their ideas and discoveries have changed the world. From our progressive founders and first female professor to medical trailblazers and student activists, discover how UCL’s community has shaped and continues to shape society.

Join us to experience UCL and London in new and unexpected ways as you celebrate your milestone moment.

The Bloomsbury campus walking tour has been created for UCL’s Bicentenary in collaboration with the following teams: Campus Experience, UCL200 and Museums and Collections.
