This holiday season is sure to be unlike any other, and with more students than ever staying in London for Christmas, we want to ensure that you have a chance to recharge and look after your mental and physical health - wherever you're spending the winter break.
The LSE community have come together to put on plenty of activities designed to get people outside and give you a chance to meet others within the community. Throughout the break, the following activities will be running. Please sign up via the links below!
LSE Book Club
Need some inspiration for your next read? Join LSE’s Book Club, led by LSE faculty members who will discuss their own works or simply a book they love!
There is no expectation that you'll have read the book in advance of the session, but there will be an opportunity for discussion amongst all attendees.
When: 4-8 and 12 January 2021, 4pm-5pm GMT
Places: unlimited
Who: all LSE students and staff
