About LSE and London

At the heart of things

We work closely with local councils, the GLA and the Mayor of London on a wide range of issues that matter to London and LSE.

LSE and London share far more than a name. Like London, LSE is diverse, open to the world and fully engaged in the conversations that truly matter. We are at the heart of things, both intellectually and physically.

Supporting London's future

LSE has diverse research interests that are directly relevant to London. From the LSE London research centre to interdisciplinary academic output from right across the School, LSE research can support London-focused issues from housing and city planning, to social inequality and trade and financial regulation. 

And we are engaged with London both at a local government and a community level. We are proud to be working with schools across the capital to support access to Higher Education from students in "low-participation" neighbourhoods. And we work closely with local councils, the GLA and the Mayor of London on a wide range of issues that matter. 

Open to all

We are also immensely proud of our campus. It's a space for students, staff and alumni, but it's also a space for the public, friends and visitors. Featuring LSE academics and speakers from across the world, our public events on campus and online are free and open to all to attend. We hope to see you soon.
