5 ways to save money on campus

We know how important it is to provide inclusive and accessible food options for everyone, which is why we have a range of offers and discounts available across our restaurants and cafés.

Here are some of our current offers along with a few handy tips on how to save some extra pennies so you can leave satisfied without having to splurge. 

Early bird breakfast

On campus before 9:30am and missed breakfast? Head to our cafés to pick up a piping hot cup of coffee or tea and a croissant for £1.50.

📍Available at LSE Garrick, Beveridge Café, Shaw Café, Beaver's Brew, The Bean Counter and Fourth Floor Restaurant. 

Early bird supper

Feeling peckish in the afternoon? Head to The Fourth Floor Restaurant for an early bird supper between 3:30–6:30pm, where you can find the chef's daily hot dish with salad for just £2.50.
