Food and Drinks

With Soho, Covent Garden, and King’s Cross on our doorstep, you can take full advantage of London’s shops, restaurants and bars. However, University Student Bars and food outlets tend to be cheaper than other non-student bars in London, so they are always a good location when you're looking to save some money. They're also great spots to meet other students and get to know your fellow Birkbeckians, as well as students from surrounding institutions such as UCL and SOAS.

It's always a good idea to carry your Birkbeck ID card with you at all times as a lot of bars in the UK will request it - we also recommend bringing your Totum card, if you've got one, to make the most out of student discounts!
