King's Culture is a dynamic specialist arts and culture unit working across the university to develop creative collaborations that aim to enhance your time at King's.

King’s Culture primarily works across two sites, Strand Aldwych (Strand Campus) and Science Gallery London (Guy’s Campus).

Their mission is to enhance your time at King’s with a diverse range of artistic, cultural and creative experiences.

Recent projects have explored themes including emerging digital technologies, climate and sustainability, conflict and displacement, and creative health.
