London Met has great places to socialise, eat and study, and we work hard to make sure you have everything you need for your time on campus.
The Rocket
Looking for the perfect spot to relax, connect, and get things done? Look no further than The Rocket on Holloway Road! Our community hub is designed with you in mind. From freshly brewed coffee and pastries in the morning to drinks in the evening, it's a welcoming space to unwind, chat with friends or just soak in the atmosphere. The Rocket is also a great space for collaboration and inspiration.
Clubs and societies
During your time at university, you’re encouraged to take part in the clubs and societies hosted by our Students' Union (SU). The SU has a large number of sports clubs and societies, and welcomes requests to start a new club that is not yet running. They will support you in this process as much as possible. With such diverse clubs and societies, you’ll find a wide range of your interests catered to.
Study areas
You can study in comfort at London Met with access to a wide range of spaces for studying. You’ll find cosy sofas nestled off corridors, and in our award-winning Met Cafe. At our Aldgate campus, we also have a number of comfortable spaces to socialise with your friends. The libraries, not just centres of knowledge and learning resources, are kitted out with seating and group work areas.
Cafés and eateries
Hungry for a bite between classes? Our campuses have fantastic spots to satisfy every craving and keep you energised from morning through to evening. With two main dining hubs at Holloway and a vibrant outlet at Aldgate, you’ll always find something delicious nearby.
"Setting up the Futsal team and playing the first game ever at the University is probably the highlight of my time at London Met so far."
Isaac, founder of the London Met Futsal team
"When I first came to London Met I really wanted to play rugby but unfortunately there was no women’s team so I started searching for a team outside the Uni… I then spoke to the SU’s Sport and Activities Development Coordinator, Danny, and he suggested I start a team. He helped me get started. Now we have an active team and compete against other universities.”
Barbara, women’s rugby
