Come in, you're welcome!

Have you ever camped out in a coffee shop with your laptop? Or tried to hold a meeting in your home office, only to be interrupted by your cat / child / flatmate? Did you know that you could be using the Alumni Visitor Centre in South Kensington?

Open to all Imperial alumni, the Centre offers you space to work, relax, and network. We have a private meeting room which you can book* for up to six people. And we provide you with free tea, coffee, cold drinks and biscuits. We have free Wi-Fi too, and there’s even a left-luggage facility.

We’re open for guests five days a week, and the centre can even be booked out of hours until 21.30 for alumni functions, like reunions or association meetings. 

*Please note the meeting room is not available to book on Wednesdays.

A home on campus

"I like coming to the Alumni Visitor Centre as it provides a great space to work and network with fellow alumni. The facilities are great, and the space is very welcoming. It provides a nice alternative to days when I’m working from home. Also, it’s a great place to meet alumni from different backgrounds."
