We are proud to partner with business and regional networks in London to help support and drive growth and connection in our local area.
UCL’s strategic partnership with British Land is built upon shared our commitment to accelerating innovation and life sciences in London. This commitment extends to developing the area around Euston and particularly Regent’s Place, just across the road from UCL, into a globally-leading campus where science-driven health and technology innovation can succeed. Learn more about our partnership celebration event, which happened in November 2023.
