We’re refreshing our existing spaces and places, developing an expanded programme of events and activities, and creating vibrant new areas for you to relax, have fun and enrich your mind, body and spirit.

The active campus schedule is ever changing. With new events and activities launching each term we aim to deliver something exciting and enriching for everyone. Get ready to embrace a more active, connected and fulfilling experience.

Skate park

Get ready to hit the ramps! Our pop-up skate park at Docklands will provide an action-packed haven for skaters of all levels. Whether you prefer to skateboard, scooter or rollerblade, our park is open to everyone.

It’s been designed by UEL students in Landscape Architecture and Visual Art & Design, in collaboration with sports scholars with extensive skating expertise. We’re also working in partnership with North London Skate Club and other local community organisations to bring you expert coaching, as well as staging some inspirational demos and graffiti art workshops.
