Student life
The College has an active Students' Union team, who organise Welcome Week events and social events throughout the year. A number of clubs and societies meet regularly, organising their own events and activities.
Our popular annual Symposium Week is a festival, celebration and showcase of what our community has to offer. It is a sharing of thought, research, art, performance and practice by students, staff and invited guests.
There are numerous theatres, event spaces, galleries, museums, pubs and clubs in Central London and nearby Greenwich. There are also plenty of local pubs, restaurants, cinemas and shops within walking distance of our campuses.

There are number of large parks in the local area. Sidcup Leisure Centre is a 2 minute walk from campus, offering a discount to students, facilities include a large swimming pool, gym and classes.
