From a wide range of cuisines to convenient locations, here are five reasons LSE restaurants and cafés should be at the top of your foodie list: 

1. Budget-friendly options

We know that London isn't the cheapest place to live, which is why we have lots of ways you can save some cash throughout the week without sacrificing taste. 

Whether you're looking for a cheap breakfast or a late afternoon deal before heading home, you can get your hands on a satisfying meal for under £3 with our food offers! Save even more throughout the year with the LSE Food Club app, where you can rack up points, collect stamps and get exclusive offers in our cafés and restaurants.

5. All served by people who care

Campus dining isn't just about the food, it's about the people - whether that's our lovely staff who look forward to serving you every day (it's true!), or sitting amongst like-minded peers in the same boat.

Our staff will remember your name, your favourite order and will watch you grow through your entire university experience. So it's definitely worth saying hello on your next visit. 

Our restaurants and cafés are where it all happens. Meet up with mates, team up for group projects, or procrastinate over coffee (no judgement here). It's all about good food and even better company.
