Students' Union UCL provides a variety of bookable spaces for clubs and societies to host activities.
Booking a room does not necessarily mean your event can go ahead - your booking will remain provisional until all other required forms have been approved. Please review our Event Management How-To Guide for further guidance.
- For example, if you are booking a room for an event with an external speaker, you will also need to submit an External Speaker Request Form.

- Lewis Building terms of use
By requesting and accepting bookings, clubs and societies agree to the below terms of use.
- Usage of Lewis Building facilities will be restricted to clubs and societies who have advance bookings confirmed by the Union through agreed procedures.
- Building access is by UCL ID card only (both outer and inner doors).
- There should be no transfer of ID card between any user.
- Club/society committee members/activity leaders are responsible for all attendees conduct within the building.
- The facilities can only be used on the days and times designated by confirmed Union bookings.
- Usage is restricted to the designated room and changing/bathroom facilities.
- All users must not enter the building more than 15 minutes before booking, and must have exited no later than 15 minutes after booking.
- Where possible, clubs/societies should provide a first aider at each booking.
- Any problems with the facilities or other users should be immediately reported to the Union by emailing [email protected].
- In case of emergencies, follow the instructions provided in the foyer and rooms.
Usage will be monitored regularly by card access data, CCTV and in person checks by Union staff.
Failure to comply with the above may result in the removal of all booking and access privileges, and disciplinary action against club/societies or individuals.
Arts priority spaces
The following spaces are now prioritised for arts activity, and managed by artsUCL. Any queries related to booking these spaces should be directed to [email protected].
Block bookings will happen at the beginning of each term, and be allocated by the arts team, in collaboration with the societies team. Priority will be given to arts activity (whether that be arts societies, other clubs/societies doing arts activity or artsUCL open access programmes). The arts team will balance society activity demand, open access programmes demand, show rehearsal demand and practical considerations in allocating space.
Arts activity will be given a priority window for ad-hoc bookings, until 3 days before the time slot requested. If there is still availability 3 days before the time slot, this can then be booked by any club/society wishing to use the space.
Any booking requests for non-arts activity in these rooms placed more than 3 days before the requested time will be rejected.
- Bloomsbury Theatre Building Rehearsal Room: Wooden floor with a PC, speakers and projector available. The room also contains a piano, dance mirrors and ballet barre, and multiple fold-up chairs and tables. Capacity ~54. Located on the 1st floor of the Bloomsbury Theatre Building, 15 Gordon Street.
- Lewis Building Dance Studio: Wooden floor with a PA system, iPod input, DVD/CD player and speakers available. The room also contains a piano, dance mirrors and ballet barre. Capacity ~30. Located on the 1st floor of the Lewis Building, 136 Gower Street.
Block booking
Union rooms can be block booked in advance of each term for regular club or society meetings through our Block Room Booking Request Form.
Block room bookings for term 3 have now closed. Current presidents and treasurers will be emailed details in advance of the next block room booking window.
Applications submitted before the deadline are considered on a 'fairest usage' policy, which allows us to accommodate requirements for as many clubs and societies as possible. Some rooms, days and times are more popular than others, but we will do our best to allocate you the spaces you need.
Ad-hoc booking
Union rooms can also be booked on an 'ad-hoc' basis. Ad-hoc bookings can be requested through our Ad-Hoc Room Booking Form.
Please note, any club or society not using their pre-booked rooms 3 times in a term, without giving Student Activities Reception a minimum of 24 hours notice of cancellation, will have their remaining bookings for that term cancelled and their permission to book rooms suspended for one week.
Not using a further 3 bookings in the same term will result in further cancellations and a suspension of 1 full term.
