If you need any support or help during the Christmas holidays then we've put together this list of support services that are available over the holidays.

If you need a place to study then the Student Centre will remain open 24/7 throughout the winter break, including on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The only exception is for reduced hours due to maintenance on 17 - 18 December. Please continue to follow safety guidelines in place to protect yourselves and other people.

All other library sites will close by 17:00 on Friday 22 December, reopening on Tuesday 2 January 2024, in line with the rest of UCL. Please check the Library Opening Hours for the most up to date information.
