Don't Miss It!

Looking for somewhere to recharge or reconnect with colleagues during the work day? There’s now an even better reason to choose the Staff Common Room.

From 10am-12pm, every hot drink purchased comes with a free cookie- the perfect excuse to take a well-earned break.

While the Staff Dining Room remains a popular lunchtime destination, the Staff Common Room offers something a little different: a calm, welcoming space away from the bustle of campus where staff can properly pause, unwind and enjoy a quieter moment in the day. Whether you’re catching up with colleagues over coffee, taking a break between meetings and lectures, or simply looking for a change of scenery away from your desk, it provides the ideal setting to relax and refocus.

Located on the 5th floor of the Old Building, this staff-only space serves barista-style drinks, alongside snacks and sweet treats throughout the day.

So, next time you need a reset or a catch-up with colleagues, head to the Staff Common Room and rediscover one of LSE’s hidden gems designed especially for you.
