Who we are
 

Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfil potential; we help make it happen. 
 

Founded in 1897, LSE Students' Union is one of the oldest Students' Unions in the UK and is the representative and campaigning body for students at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). We also fund and facilitate student activities on campus, including societies, sports clubs, media groups, and raise money for charities via Raising and Giving (RAG) initiatives.

The Denning Learning Café is the perfect place to meet friends and relax, unwind in between lectures, or focus on your studies. With choices of delicious coffee and home made sandwiches you will find all your hearts desire!

Fancy something warm for lunch? We also serve warm baked goods.

The Three Tuns is your very own student bar, offering a chilled-out space for you to meet with friends on campus. With a programme of fun events and some of the best drinks-deals in London, there’s bound to be something for everyone to enjoy.
