The Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Her Majesty The Queen, the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the mayoral election – what a year 2012 will be for Britain’s capital city! In the year when all eyes are on London, King’s ninth annual Alumni Weekend focuses on celebrating all that is great about this amazing place.
Current staff are invited to take advantage of this exclusive opportunity to join alumni and former colleagues to celebrate London and the King’s community.
Highlights include:
- Your night at the Museum of London – The Principal, Professor Richard Trainor welcomes alumni, staff and friends to join him in this very special evening at the Museum of London on Friday 8 June. Take advantage of exclusive after-hours access to the one of the most famous museums in London, open only to Alumni Weekend guests. Browse the upper galleries at your leisure, visit the Dickens and London exhibition with a King’s academic and explore Modern London in the lower galleries.
- Somerset House East Wing open house - Throughout the day on Saturday 9 June, the newly refurbished Somerset House East Wing will be open to guests to learn more about the building’s history and its future as part of King’s. Alongside guided tours of the building, you can learn more about the history of the site with Archaeology talks and discover the cultural and public spaces inside with talks from the artists of the ‘Between’ exhibition and Alan Read, Professor of Theatre.
- Also on Saturday, we are hosting the first ever Staff vs. Students vs. Alumni pub quiz, so get a team of colleagues together, brush up on your London knowledge and set the standard for future years. Come along on your own or bring your whole department - full teams should be registered in advance. Please contact the Alumni Office on alumoff@kcl.ac.uk for further details.
