Congratulations! You made it to this side of the pond (if you weren't already here)!
In any case, come join your fellow Americans and others interested in the US at our very first social of the 2026-27 academic year, just in time for the Friday of International Student Welcome Week and Mid-Autumn Festival!
Settle in with some new friends on-campus as you meet our committee, learn about our society's plans (spoiler: you'll want to keep coming) and adjusting to life in London, and, well, socialize (like by playing some mind-bending table games). A few hours later (and/or when we get bored of all that, since who knows?), you have the option of coming with us to a local branch of the global Taiwanese restaurant chain Din Tai Fung to get to know your friends even more (while enjoying some absolutely exquisite Taiwanese food).
What a fitting set of festivities for a day dedicated to gratitude, planning for the future, and enjoying harmony with friends and family (including our found family)! We welcome students from all levels of study (including study-abroad students from universities outside the UK) to come join us in this unique start for our wonderful year ahead.
Please make sure you have a taster (free) or Standard (subject to membership fee) membership before getting your free Welcome Social ticket here. In case of any issues with this, please email us as soon as possible so we can help you troubleshoot.
Wheelchair accessibility for the on-campus portion of the social is subject to the circumstances surrounding the on-campus room/area we are assigned (which is not yet known at time of writing), in accordance with standard practice at UCL. Access to Din Tai Fung (Centre Point branch) is by a lift (elevator), located after the restaurant's main entrance.
While Din Tai Fung does sell alcoholic beverages, there is no obligation/expectation for participants to purchase them. There is no ID check required to enter Din Tai Fung.
