The University of London Union (ULU), known as Student Central after 2014, was the students' union of the federal University of London.[1] Since the closure of its student governance, each student is instead primarily affiliated to a students' union of their individual college, as the University of London is a federal structure encompassing many constituent colleges.[2]

ULU provided a range of services on an intercollegiate basis, including cultural, recreational and sporting activities. Its seven-floor building in Malet Street, Central London, next to Birkbeck, University of London, included bars, restaurants, shops, banks, a swimming pool and a live music venue.[3]

In 2021, Student Central closed and the university leased the building to Birkbeck College to expand their teaching space.[4][5]
