With all the seriousness that comes with academic reading, Book Club is a great way to remind yourself that reading can still be fun.

Whether you’ve read the book in its entirety or have only just started, this group is welcome to everyone who simply wants to come and chit chat about books!
Coming into their first year as an official society, AI and Philosophy Soc have a very specific goal: to encourage their members to excavate all the dilemmas that come with artificial intelligence. From attending panel sessions with leading academics, workshopping AI governance structures to writing for a student-led journal, join one of KCLSU’s newest but fastest growing groups.
If Lana Del Rey has been consistently on your Spotify Wrapped then we’ve got one for you. Becoming a member looks like evenings spent at the pub dressed as your favourite LDR album or scrapbooking with her iconic discography in the background. Artist-dedicated societies are rare gems at KCL, so Lana Del Rey fans, treasure this one!
Gone are the days when a mahjong table was reserved only for an older generation.

From taster sessions to inter-university competition, mahjong is a great way to unwind, socialize and keep those brain cogs turning.
Want to discover what being a part of a Formula 1 team could look like? Racing Society is the perfect opportunity.
