30 November 2017
UCL's campus in the heart of London provides endless opportunities to snap the perfect photo.
It's no wonder UCL Instagram has over 40,000 followers!
Here's our top 10 guide to UCL's most instagrammable places.
10. Grant Museum of Zoology
The Grant Museum is full of the weird and wonderful, including the incredible Micrarium - a back-lit cave of 2300 microscope slides giving a glimpse of the vast diversity of animal life.
9. School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES)
Inside and out, the architectural design of SSEES is something quite special with its quirky shapes and angles.
8. Gower Street - Waterstones bookshop
An iconic sight in Bloomsbury, UCL students have been using this bookshop for 85 years!
7. Wilkins Terrace
The favourite new space to hangout on campus, Wilkins Terrace looks just as good by night (if not better!) as it does by day.
6. UCL Main Library
The picturesque Donaldson Reading Room is UCL's original library built back in 1849 and is still a much sought after study spot.
5. Bartlett School of Architecture
Home to arguably the best staircase at UCL, 22 Gordon Street is always worth a visit to see the latest showcases by our architecture students.
4. Cruciform Building
Named for its aerial view in the shape of a cross, the striking red brick Cruciform Building was designed in 1896 as a hospital and only became a part of UCL in 1995.
3. Gordon Square Garden
Strolling through Gordon Square Garden is a great escape from London's bustling city life and is especially stunning during spring and autumn.
2. The Flaxman Gallery
The Flaxman Gallery featuring 'St. Michael Overcoming Satan' is the largest collection of works by British sculptor John Flaxman. The gallery also appeared in UCL alumnus Christopher Nolan's film Inception!
1. The Portico
And you probably guessed it - the Portico is our #1 Instagram spot on campus...because do you really even go to UCL if you haven't posted a Portico snap?!
